Department of trivial observations
These events inspired two separate songs by two of my favorite bands in my teens/early ’20s. In a further meaningless coincidence, both groups were routinely referred to by their initials.
“88 Seconds…And Still Counting” off Pop Will Eat Itself’s (or PWEI’s) Cure For Sanity album and “88 Seconds In Greensboro” on OMD’s Crush.
