      Saw them twice. First time they opened for The Police on their Ghost In The Machine tour.
      Paul Moyer was doing a segment on them for Eye On L.A. and recording a segment outside The Forum as we were leaving the concert. If you ever see the clip of him talking you'll see my arm appear in frame right at the end of the clip :-D

    Being lucky enough to watch this band evolve and grow. I have seen them countless times in Southern California, where they reigned supreme. The could sell out arenas there. This is by far the most quintessential Boingo song ever. As much as I love the huge production they became. Click tracks, and recorded strings. There was nothing like the days when it was eight ass kicking members, no tech, just raw energy and power.

    You can not listen to this band for a few years and stumble upon them again and ask yourself, "What have I been doing the last few years wasting my life not listening to this band?" Luckily for those in SoCal (and Utah), we at least get Oingo Boingo Former Members performing. No Danny but this whole band was a masterpiece.
