Re: (TV) Semi-OT: You might find this amusing

[Phil Obbard <pobbard@yahoo.com>]

At least Television is writing and playing interesting new music to
go with these shows. And if the Pixies want to cash-in (like the Sex
Pistols did in their aptly-named "Filthy Lucre" tour), I'm happy to
play along.

For the record, the best concert I have seen in the last few years is
the Soft Boys in October 2002. I wouldn't consider them one of my
favorite bands in the same way Television, Pixies, etc. are, but I'd
stack their show (which featured some new material and lots of
"oldies") against any "first run" act any day. 

Contest: I defy anyone to find a song by any "reunion" act mentioned
in the Globe article as truly gut-wrenchingly awful as the Eagles
"Get Over It" from HELL FREEZES OVER.

"I turn on the tube and what do I see
A whole lotta people cryin' 'don't blame me'
They point their crooked little fingers at everybody else
Spend all their time feelin' sorry for themselves
Victim of this, victim of that
Your momma's too thin; your daddy's too fat

Get over it
Get over it
All this whinin' and cryin' and pitchin' a fit
Get over it, get over it"
