"It's a Little Old Place..."

"...where we can get together"



Ah, yes, the "Love Shack".



A great B-52's song, and it turns out a real place, a five-room cabin in Athens, GA, where the band wrote some of their songs and Kate Pierson's home in the 1970's. Bad news is that last week a fire gutted the cabin, only its frame and, yes, tin roof remaining. The cause of the fire is unknown, though the building was not wired for utilities, ruling out an electrical or gas fire.







Maybe now singles of the song will fetch big bucks at auctions, just like dead artist's work.
