Is Ricky Wilson dead?
Karen told me earlier this week that something about the death of one of
The B-52's had appeared in the newsaper. I ran through the names, and only the
name Ricky Wilson rang a bell with her.
She remembered reading he had died of leukemia or something. Is this true?
Is it Keith Strickland instead? I doubt it's Fred Schneider ... she knows
who he is.
Is there any future for The B-52's? (puns and flames to /dev/null, please)

I asked a couple of weeks ago if Ricky Wilson died following hearsay that a
B-52's band member had died of leukemia.
NOBODY answered me. Of course it is possible that my article got drained
somewhere.
Someone must know what's going on with The B-52's --- they must make the
music papers now and again in Georgia. I know there must be some Georgians
reading.
Someone tell me --- are they all still alive?

The women in the band were Cindy Wilson (his sister) and Kate Pierson. The Wilsons were (I think) two of the three native Georgians in the band. About four people sent me mail confirming this. He apparently had cancer or leukemia, as I'd heard. How sad. -- Ken Rossen ...!{decvax,ihnp4,ima,linus,harvard,seismo}!bbncca!krossen ... or ... krossen@bbnccp.ARPA
