    The Bangles aren't in the Hall and could kick their ass from here 'till Sunday. The Bangles live in 2020:

      Saw them open for The Police. At that time they had one or two hits but those hits were groundbreaking.

        Their cover of Hazy Shade of Winter is killer.

          She did the eye thing from the Walk Like an Egyptian video. Awesome.

            This video was done about two decades ago. The audio is very good and their voices were in their early 40's, which means about as good as it gets.

            How many singers today, could lay this down without autotune and playing their own instruments?

              Lastly (or maybe not)...Something you may or may not know... Eternal Flame is one of the band's biggest hits.

              To increase the feeling of vulnerability, Hoffs laid down the vocal tracks while naked.

              I guess it worked...

                The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                  Susanna Hoffs is SIXTY TWO years old?

                  When the hell did that happen?

                      Same way my kid got to be the same age I was when I moved to Cincinnati and started my adult life. Yeesh.
