| old man music Marmy's sister-in-law has tickets to see the reunion tour of The Police. Reunion tours of bands from 20 (or more) years ago make me cringe, especially when the hits they are playing are not their current incarnation. Sting exists as a mellow adult-contemporary performer now but that is definately not what made him famous. I tried to think of what bands of my youth, those who I adored dearly, would I go see even if it was a washed-up reunion tour that would most likely be audiences populated by only 40+ year "haven't been to a concert or live music show in a decade or more" types. Marmy mentioned Springsteen but I count him out as his current folky-rock music stands apart from his classic rebel rock. People are just as likely to see him for that music as for Thunder Road. The only band that comes quickly to mind for me is The Cure, with a bloated Robert Smith looking all wonky in his kid's spiky black hair and makeup. What about you? April 09 07 |

well, if they could handle Kylie Minogue dueting with Nick Cave, they'll handle this.
