If Pylon, Patti Smith Group and the Feelies had a baby, it might be this song. It's a kinetic tribute to those who teach us how to fix it. Shero Kate Pierson joins me for a duet. I've been a fan of the B-52s since I first saw them at the Last Resort. About a year ago at the final date of their last tour in Athens, GA, I had the idea that Kate would be a perfect fit on "Fix It"—we had just finished laying down the tracks for our album and were due in the studio the following week to mix it. I got up the nerve to ask her if she would as we were saying goodbye. She said yes and recorded it the next week. Kate's timing is perfect—her vocal track was delivered five minutes after we had finished mixing the rest of the album. We were "over the moon" when we heard her vocals.
