Born on this day: happy 74th birthday to the fabulous Kate Pierson (née Catherine Elizabeth Pierson, 27 April 1948), one of the founding members of essential post-punk band the B-52’s! For me, Pierson’s dissonant science fiction anti-harmonies with co-vocalist Cindy Wilson are one of the defining sounds of American New Wave music! She also, of course, has exemplary taste in beehive wigs. (Pictured: Pierson in red wig, Wilson in pink wig in 1983). -- source link
