Missing Persons had a tremendously short but meteoric run in the heyday of MTV.

Tremendously short must not be quite the simile, as it is clear that Lady Gaga has ripped 'The Bozzio' off in terms of aesthetics (and nobody has said anything).

Thanks to another poster for pointing this out earlier today, I knew there was something I couldn't quite put my finger on. Now, I've put it to the keyboard.

Bozzio>>>>>>>>>>LGG. Furthermore, Spring Session M was one of the best albums out at the time. It really is a well rounded and nice flowing album.

Degas, it was you, wasn't it? Yeah, I enjoyed that band. They were one of those that kind of embarrassed you to admit it in public, but if it were in front of the TV, well, all was forgiven.

They layed the ground for much West Coast activity, and the relocation of many English acts to L.A. (albeit temporary, as this country was too stifling for them, being that the UK was still somewhat European at that time).

I have some Missing Persons in my iTunes library. I still jam it in the car from time to time. I approve of this thread.

I know what you mean given the peer pressure of that era to frown on anything that didn't sound like Huey Louis or Bruce Springsteen, but I'm proud to proclaim that Spring Session M is probably up there in my top 30 favorite albums of all time...perhaps higher.

wow. You are a 'caja de sorpresas'.

I'm now flippin' with Jack White and the other Raconteurs visiting Pete Townsend, and the two playing The Seeker. Weird, as in, it's totally promotional, yet Pete's people didn't have the sense to get those girls (I take it one is his daughter) out of there, as they are extremely patronizing.

I was already previously grooving to The Beat, and then connected to Townsend, as it's been purported that he enjoyed Save It For Later, and the same shite (enveloped by patronizing glom-ons). He looks like a deposed Pakistani ruler for Christ's sake.

The Beat meaning the new version of the English Beat? Strange connection with Townshend if that's true, and a little known fact...the producer for the Specials album was Elvis Costello.

I remember someone temporarily touring under "The Beat" Because they couldn't use "English Beat"...sort of like the Heads/Talking Heads. Glad to see we're on the same page.

My claim to fame.

I played drums with The Selecter. A dear prep school friend went to school up north (Michigan State), and his brother booked bands. Amongst them, of the least were The Selecter.

Wow, eh?

I was too white, too Yankee, and too 'violent' with the kit!

'violent' meaning I was too physical, I needed no miking.

No, you get me wrong. You are most certainly an artist, I was but an animal with a phenomenal sense of rhythm.

And I am sure Bozio took some cues from Wendy O Williams.

Lady Gaga has not hidden the fact she has studied pop history and saw what worked to make one popular.
