It's an interesting time for paleontologists. The Stones are touring and the word is that Eric, Ginge and Jack are about to reform Cream for another set of shows. But let's be frank, these guys are the creme de la tomato soup of rock and make as good music now as they ever did.
A while back there were nauseating little journo' hacks just out of short pants saying "When are guys like these going to hang up their wawa pedals?" Well hopefully never. That's like saying, "Hey Muddy, aren't you a bit old for the blues?" To which the answer would undoubtedly be something involving a muther and sexual travel. It just goes to show that quality will out as can be witnessed at this years Grammy awards with U2 pulling in the plaudits for their album 'How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb!' (by the way, how do you do that?) sweeping the board with five awards including best album. Okay so in the past, I've had a go at Bono on Bullshit News but then he is a bit of a caricature of himself with the big hair and the perma-shades and an ego the size of an iceberg [see the id metaphor] and one of them calls himself Edge - presumeably because he's tense and bad tempered. But all in all, they are a quality band still going after 30 years.

I'd personally like to see the reformation of many more old bands and see what they come up with. I'm not talking about bands like The Dave Clark Five per se, for whom the song Glad All Over, a song about feeling glad all over has new meanings which light up the eyes of Gladys Puckle who mans the salad bar. No, what I mean is, wouldn't it be great to see bands like Zeppelin and Sabbath and The Kinks get it on again. Albeit that some bands would need new blood to replace those lost to time and the needle - of which Eric Clapton was thankfully nearly but not actually one. It just shows how much talent was lost to drugs. That must make us take note. It won't but it should.

It would be great, for example, to do a part reform of The Beatles substituting John and George with their offspring Julian Lennon and Dhani Harrison. That would in some respects preserve the integrity of the past, perhaps Paul McCartney's musical son could be involved there too - Stella could whip up Camel & Llama sandwiches for them during the session. They are all talented and Julian sounds so like his dad - which I guess must irk him some at times - however! Crosby, Stills and Nash (& Young) still get together. Dave Crosby was one of those who nearly finished himself off but thankfully pulled back from the brink. It would be fun to see The Osmonds reform for some sort of schmaltsy show, the Jacksons too complete with as many of the old bits of Michael that surgery hasn't destroyed. The Brotherhood of Man could.... forget it. Bob Dylan could reform himself and start writing meaningful protest songs like "I just can't get good rates on my millions". Aah, life would be great!
