“Lived Through That” is the podcast where influential artists of the 80s and 90s and beyond talk to us about a pivotal moment in their lives. The stories they tell are open, honest, and inspiring. You can follow us on Twitter and Facebook @MikeHipplePhoto and on Instagram @MikeHipple.

Without a doubt, the B-52s are one of the greatest party bands around – and they’re likely one of your favorite bands, too! Our season 4 episode is a little different than some of our previous episodes.  In honor of the band’s retirement from touring, we’re talking to some of the B-52s biggest fans about being at their final touring show back where it all started, in Athens, GA.

“Lived Through That” is the companion podcast to my book where I look at influential 90s musicians and where they are today. On this podcast, we’ll delve deeper into a single pivotal moment in the lives of some of the artists I feature in the book, as well as other artists I love and admire. The stories they tell are open, honest, and inspiring.

Squeeze is one of the most enduring bands of the 80s with timeless songs like “Black Coffee in Bed,” “Tempted,” “Cool for Cats,” “Up The Junction,” and so many others – all that still sound fresh today.  In a little bit of a departure from other episodes, this one is structed more like an oral history of the band with Squeeze’s singer-songwriter-guitarist Chris Difford, drummer Gilson Lavis, and bassist John Bentley. Plus John Faye from the 90s band The Caulfields.

On this episode, we feature Andy McCluskey from OMD (Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark).  Andy has a story about a happy accident that, if it hadn’t happened, we likely wouldn’t have ever heard any of their classic songs like "If You Leave," "Electricity," "Enola Gay," and others.

Many thanks to Andy for sharing his story and to additional guests Lindsay Reade and Carol Wilson for adding their memories.
