    Respect to Amanda for her honesty about struggles with addiction. Addiction happens. Glad she found her way out.

    When the episode first aired I only knew the song "What's On Your Mind (Pure Energy)." I then bought the first album and have bought the first 3 since. They are all really good albums. Underrated band.
    FYI, they got back together for real a few years later (without Amanda) and are still together today. 😁

    “Walking away” has a quite accurate premonition lyrics. Damn man, the reunion was almost there…

    This was delightful. I couldn’t tell you the first thing about Information Society but this was really enjoyable. Kurt does not seem like a happy person at all.

    They were big with the Latino community, because their music had a “Latin Freestyle” sound, which was popular in the 80s and 90s.

    I'm looking at the UA-cam recommendations to the side of this video, and I see a clip entitled "Interview with Information Society." The vid is dated 9 years ago, and Paul, Jim and Kurt are all in the thumbnail. So it looks like Kurt let bygones be bygones and did eventually get back together again with his bandmates.

    Amanda can’t hold a candle to the late Sally Berg though, especially the drums. But we all know Information Society got back together eventually because there are several more albums and I saw them live in Austin and Dallas, with Kurt.

    That guy Kurt seemed like a miserable weirdo anyway. He was even annoyed when Aamer walked in to greet him. Probably was for the best he didn’t reunite with these guys, because they all seemed to hate him.

    At this point they could re-reunite the band since most of these episodes hadn't seen each other for ~18 years....and here's it's been yet another ~18+ years since these aired.

    • @kingperalta
      @kingperalta 4 місяці тому +1

      They actually did. They released an album in 2007, Kurt performed some vocals on it and then later on re-joined the band permanently. They've released three albums since then.

    ERRRR... I was so looking forward to seeing this reunion. Even stopped myself from scrubbing to the end of the video to see the build up, and eventual let down. Did the guys apologize to Amanda for not being there for her during her time of need? I didn't hear it but I hope they did because just brushing it under the rug with "chicken" is bs.

      There are some interesting reads of why he decided not to, some of which lays in the shady practices that BR used in reaching individuals. As he recalls ,they ambushed him in his office under false pretentions and put him on the spot, imagine being at work ,having a different life and someone comes into your work place with a camera crew after having lied to your work place why they were coming there.There is a lot of which they edit out of these things and stories they do not tell.

    One can say what they want to about Kurt's eccentricism and appearant over sensitivity, but the truth is, Kurt warned Aamer fair and square and in no uncertain terms not to dig into Amanda's departure. He even told Aamer that if Amanda did talk about it, that they (Kurt and Aamer) would be "done". That should have been the end of it, but Aamer wouldn't let it go. In stead he pushed the issue with Amanda, to get the information. I hope it was worth it, because it looks like that was reason enough for why Kurt did not go. Aamer was warned fair and square.

      Aamer had every right to ask Amanda about her departure, so Kurt never told Aamer anything, so your post is totally false
