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

I've nothing against bands reforming, if people dont want to see it, then 
dont go - I am worried about the motives of bands reforming with one 
original member e.g. Son Volt, the Wedding Present - if paul mcartney 
decided to call his touring band the beatles I'd understand people being 
pissed off

stearing back on topic ... I was listening to the version of marquee moon 
from the rhino handmade disk last night, and it was sounding magic - but it 
got me thinking - it seems to be on every recording - how often have they 
not played it ?

much as I like it, I wouldnt be disapointed if I saw them and they didnt 
play it, I'd rather hear two new ones instead
