• Colin from Newcastle, EnglandThe band Pop Will Eat Itself also sang about the same incident in their song "88 Seconds" from their 1990 album "Cure For Sanity".
• Zack from Manila, PhilippinesAfter listening to it I noticed how the end of "88 Seconds In Greensboro" directly leads to the next song "The Native Daughters Of The Golden West". Just like how "Night Sky" by Chvrches goes straight to "Science/Visions". Interesting tidbit.
  
  Also, according to Wikipedia, the Native Daughters of the Golden West is a non-profit organization that focuses on the care and preservation of California history. Wonder how OMD heard of the group and why they became the song title.
• Jill from Decatur, GaIn January 1986 I was driving to Charlottesville, Va with a friend to go skiing and to visit her brother. We were listening to my OMD tape and had to turn it over (remember those days?). When we popped the tape out, the radio automatically came on and we heard the news about the space shuttle Challenger crashing 73 seconds after takeoff. We pulled over in a daze. After a few minutes, we drove off, the tape kicked in and "88 Seconds In Greensboro" came on..."88 seconds is all it takes"...it was eerie and to this day that song reminds me of the Challenger crash.
• Rebecca from College Station, TxHello, I am originally from Greensboro, North Carolina and was there when this happened. I remember the sound of the shots being fired and all the frightened citizens. We really did not know at the time what was happening.
  I thank my lucky stars, I no longer live in that city and will never again.
