As much as I disagree with the message in their music, Rage is a magnificent band. Thankfully, Rage isn't Dixie Chick left, it's anti-establishment left or right ("More for Gore or the son of a drug lord? None of the above! F--- it! Cut the cord!") There aren't too many band-based guitar heroes like Tom Morello left on the scene, and his work was wasted in the relatively dreary songs of Audioslave.

I gotta wonder what in the world's going on in Eddie's life that he is reuniting with David Lee Roth again. Is he just itching to perform again, does he need some cash after his multiple medical crises (tongue cancer, hip replacement surgery), or did he just look at the Rolling Stones' dino-tour generate cases full of Krugerrands and decide, "I could do that!"? Has Roth agreed to be more mature this time around, or did he become an EMT so he could continue to abuse his body and then drive himself to the ER?

I don't know if it's a good thing Genesis is back. I've been a fan since the Abacab days, but thought they had pretty well played out the string. I am not hopeful that any new CD will be made of top-notch stuff. Their last CD, the Phil-free Calling All Stations...(which seemed to be a plea for radio play) was a total mess.

I'm a latecomer to the Roxy Music fan club. I'm just now learning how influential they were on the music of the eighties -- talk about ahead of their time! There probably would be no Duran Duran as we know it if Bryan Ferry had never existed.

Of all these groups, I would be most inclined to pay a pretty penny to see The Police perform. I get the feeling they agreed to reunite for the bucks, not because they've learned to live with each other. If I wasn't sure the Eagles wouldn't be back, I'd have to reconsider that, but it looks like they've found their second wind.
