Okay, follow me on this. In 1980 OMD, one of the truly great electronic pop groups, released a single called "Enola Gay." Named after the B-29 bomber that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, it was their first international hit, often cited for its melodicism.
Five years later they made a video for their song, "So In Love," the first single from their album Crush (top 40 US). The video took as influence for its visuals and slight storyline the Mexican "Day of the Dead" festival, which is traditionally celebrated on the 1st and 2nd of November.
Today, Paul Warfield Tibbits Jr., the man who flew the Enola Gay (and had named the plane after his mother), died.
On the Mexican Day of the Dead.
Cue Twilight Zone music...
