Probably apocryphal, but it is often told that “Burning Down the House” was played out of many a nearby dorm window when Johnson Hall/Rathskeller caught fire in December 1987 on the University of Florida campus in Gainesville.
I saw the flames from the air, as I was flying back to Gainesville from south Florida that day. I remember the smell of burnt plastic and burnt electrical stuff persisting for days.
