The Talking Propellerheads

Their songs reported on changes in the minicomputer industry such as An Wang's retirement ("they thought that Fred could run the company, but An said "Fred, you're not the man for me"), as well as documenting some of the players that formed the industry: Data General founders (Ed DeCastro and Herb Richman, in "Eddie and Herb", Tom West in "Stairway to Heaven", and Ken Olsen in "Dec Stinks").

The band performed in NYC, Boston, Orlando, Denver, Kansas City, Dallas, Nashville, Atlanta and San Francisco as well as other venues.

They made over 15 rock videos that were shown at various meetings and events to entertain and provide the “Data General Culture” for new-hires.

Their covers included everything from the Beatles (Drive My Car, B Side of Abbey Road) to Pink Floyd (Comfortably Numb) to Led Zeppelin (Rock and Roll, Stairway to Heaven) to Little Feat (Willin’).

[4] They also were featured on Casey Kasem’s American Top 40 radio program as “the Hottest Band in Computerland.” Some song titles included "Clariion Our Newborn Son" (Carry On Wayward Son), “Don’t Say We Didn’t Warn Ya’" (Hotel California), “Cobol Wizard” (Pinball Wizard), “I’m a Sales Man” (I’m a Soul Man), “Psycho Salesrep” (Psycho Killer) and they closed every Data General performance with a song about their competition titled “DEC Stinks” (Love Stinks).
