It’s not age, it’s never age, lets take the easy example of Fred and Toody from Dead Moon previously, and Pierced Arrows now. No one can accuse them of an awkward reenactment, or of parts being played.

What is in question the nature of the reunion. It’s playing songs you wrote and recorded when you were arguably a different person. Sometimes those shows/tours can go horribly wrong. There is like this tangible disconnect between player and song, a river of time and experience in-between.
And then there are reunions that work, ones that are not about playing the part, but playing the music, connecting with the songs, by both band and audience. And as far as I’ve heard, those Raincoats shows were the latter.
Which is why I am so bummed I stayed home.

Pathetic. We’re not all home-owning republican breeders. Get over yourself. In fact, I think we’re more true blue than you are.
