@Chloe Wilson11 - Okay, look, I agree you shouldn't go out of your way to insult someone just because they had a rough show (and that wasn't my intention anyway). And honestly, I don't regret spending money on a ticket. For example, I still kind of regret missing that Nazareth concert back in the mid-eighties. They played two songs, then the singer just collapsed right on stage, the roadies dragged him off, the rest of the band knocked out two instrumentals, and they basically packed up and left. Sure, I would've been pissed at the time and felt like I wasted my cash, but long-term? It’s a hell of a story to tell...
As for a comeback, I’m still holding out hope that someone finds Danny Kirwan sleeping under some bridge in London and drags him into rehab. (I mean, I know he’s picked up a guitar a few times in recent years just for himself, but he’s probably physically and mentally too wrecked for any real comeback. But hey, why not dream?)

@Raymond Barrett12 - The more money someone has, the more they need it. But I don't get that snarky dismissal of the idea that The Rolling Stones actually LOVE and WANT to play (as if there's anything else they even know how to do in their lives). What I was reacting to in my last post was that whole post-punk hypocrisy thing: the people who were labeled "dinosaurs" back in '77 actually are dinosaurs. We can poke fun at punks who are still playing thirty years later, sure, but it's fine. It's great when bands like Pere Ubu or Buzzcocks come to town, but the fact that we had shows by Eric Burdon or Jethro Tull just becomes fodder for jokes. Well, I enjoyed all four of those shows and I'm damn glad I did. 🙂
