My last jeep was Chili Pepper Red, but I could work with that.

question on the B52's- Was that live music video lip synched, or was that the source of the actual recording that we all know to be 'Rock Lobster"?

Supposedly, the video I posted was a live recording by MTV, back in 1980. So yeah, the quality blows.

Here's a more recent live recording:

I guess those guys are really legit live because both renditions sound like the radio play recording I know.

Rock Lobster makes me sad.

I am buying a Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited in a week or two and would love to get red...but the Rock Lobster Red is not appealing. It's not terrible, but it does not stand out for me. Looks like I will have to go with gray...oh no, it's now just that stupid billet silver metallic...okay, going with black then. sigh.

I was never able to catch The B52s buzz. They look like a band you would need to see live to really appreciate.
