Absolutely loved your write-up! And those quotes, brilliant 😃. Seriously though, I really admire how you used Taylor Swift’s album as a springboard to revisit 1989 and Cosmic Thing. Also, thanks a ton for the shoutout and linking back to my B-52’s post!
Great discussion! "Cosmic Thing" was my first real introduction to the The B-52s thanks to meeting my husband Frank that year. I became obsessed with the album and developed relationships with each of its tracks. It was part of every party we had and attended. We've since seen the band multiple times over the years. Such great positive energy!
Cosmic Thing was redemptive—I think—for the band since they lost Ricky Wilson, Cindy’s brother to AIDS. I don’t analyze that in an article I’m working on about the B52’s, but I’m glad you’ve touched on them.
I do music artists and their astrology—I’m just starting out. But, they had incredible synastry, I’d like to believe since Ricky & Cindy are Pisces, Fred is a Cancer, Keith’s a Scorpio, and Kate’s a Taurus!

I hear she also likes black-capped chickadees! ;)
