We were OUT OF OUR minds!! After half an hour of us screaming and running away excited, and the manager wondering why, it transpired that he meant the local American Football team in Brighton.
We all immediately lost interest. Lol.

Did "Devil in My Car" inspire Stephen King's "Christine"? (Maybe it was the Jerry Van Dyke sitcom "My Mother, the Car".)

I have an odd little B-52s story. Back around 1980, while I was still at school, I was obsessed with all things Beatles and had been slowly discovering the Yoko Ono catalogue. I was in Driftin' a fantastic secondhand record shop in Cheltenham, thumbing through the racks and I noticed a copy of Rock Lobster, original issue, on the shelf behind Roger, the shop's owner. he started telling me about it and how much I would love it when I picked up a copy of Yoko's Approximately Infinite Universe from his racks and immediately spent every penny I had on that. If he had told me how much the B-52's were influenced by Yoko I might well have gone back the next day and bought it, but I didn't, and consequently had to wait to be introduced to their magnificence for another year!

"Wild Planet" was one of the first records I ever bought. They were also one of the first bands I ever saw live, playing at a club in the nearby town of Aberdeen (NJ, not UK). I miraculously snuck in without being carded.
"Party Out of Bounds" opened their set. I was glad they played nothing from their latest record, the disappointing "Mesopotamia".
