Ode to Boingo
My best Halloween ever was 1995. That was the year I attended the Farewell Concert of Oingo Boingo at the Universal Amphitheatre. While on one level, it's sad that in 10 years, nothing has beaten that night. On the other hand, seriously - who can top a Boingo concert, especially since Danny refuses to consider reuniting?
Halloween will forever be entwined with one of my all-time favorite bands. And there's nothing wrong with that. There is something wrong with not having plans on All Hallow's Eve. Granted, I'll probably still be recovering from the weekend, but there should be revelry.
I heart Rhapsody's description:
New wave nerds, Oingo Boingo represented Southern California long before "The OC" came along.Of course, Danny Elfman is the genius behind the Simpsons' theme song, the Batman soundtrack, the Desperate Housewives theme song, and the movie "Nightmare Before Christmas."
Viva new wave nerds!
