I read it as B52 at first and wondered how the building survives

You can take multiple band members and chuck them at a building with little to no effect. The equipment too. It's only when you get to the tour bus that it tends to leave a mark.

What about their Chrysler which is as big as a whale?

[–] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Does it seat about 20?

No, this is about the Empire State Building. The Chrysler building is completely different.
