What an interesting background story I never would have guessed! This story feels particularly relevant to the U.S. culture right now. Thank you for another great read!

I love this post so much. (And would sign up for an entire Substack/series just for your behind-the-song stories!) Takes me right back to the 90s (and more recently, the Derry Girls series, which I loved partly because of this band). Thanks for sharing this amazing background, Beth!
