Don't Missing Persons deserve their own thread?

I've just flipped over their first two albums the last month or so and this live thing I found too called "Late Nights/Early Days".

I dreamed I might be lucky enough to find a few early live videos of them on You Tube and low and behold, my dreams came true recently:

"Windows":

"Mental Hopscotch"

Okay so that last one isn't live. I love this band, I'm sorry.

I can't believe how small this thread is. Growing up in L.A these guys seemed to be ubiquitous. Was it just a local thing, then?

Where would Gwen Stefani be today without Dale Bozzio as a role model?

"Mental Hopscotch" was quite good, if memory serves.

First Michael Vick, now Dale Bozzio? I like "Destination Unknown" as much as the next guy, but seriously, fuck that bitch.

I suppose there's a chance that what the lawyer says is true - she hired someone to take care of the animals and the person never showed up. But for her to not follow up is hugely irresponsible. Very sad.

why does no one ever talk about Missing Persons? Spring Session M is way up there with the best of Blondie and the Pretenders imo. Don't know anything else besides 'Mental Hopscotch.' But man, side one of Spring Session M is hit after hit: Noticeable One, Windows, Ain't None of Your Business, Destination Unknown, Walking in LA, U.S. Drag...........ROCKIN!! why does this band get no credit/plaudits from people that are eager to namedrop Blondie?

life is so strange
life is so strange

SEE???

There's a new Missing Persons album out now, because why not. Called Dreaming. It's only Dale from the original group.
