There's a mention of The Smiths and a poll "which group do you most want to reform?"
Pink Floyd are leading - but we could change all that. Reunion fever sweeps rock world - BBC News A string of bands have announced comebacks - but why do they do it, and who could be next? Excerpt: ...The return of The Smiths, The Stone Roses or The Jam would cause a frenzy in the UK, Mr Sutherland adds. Frosty relations "That's the holy trinity right there if you could get those three bands to reform. "But they're probably three of the most unlikely reformations out there because there does seem to be a genuine degree of antipathy between the members." Their frontmen - Morrissey, Ian Brown and Paul Weller - have also enjoyed successful solo careers and so are less likely to need the windfall. The chances of a reunion go up as the fortunes of the band's members go down and their egos and wallets long once more for the glory days. But rock history proves that time is a great healer - and money can be a very useful medicine.

'At this very moment for the peoples and the nations of the earth,

But rather may their moral conduct, merit, wealth and prosperity increase,
And may supreme good fortune and wellbeing always arise for them.'

Here is, I trust, a timely message that would extend to all warring parties of super pop-bands and even at exceptionally lenient moments, to the swallownecks of this world… Maybe…

I thought, why won't he allow this for the Smiths? Put all the crap behind you and look how great it could be...even if it's just him and Johnny, what is it that's holdng them both back? Obviously they don't need the money, but why wouldn't they want to get together again for themselves, for the fans, and for the music? It could be great for them too.
Killer Kane died a happy man because they finally put it behind them and played again. Maybe there's a lesson there?
Let's all keep dreaming, and keep those fingers crossed, and maybe it will happen (after Andy and Mike die?)

I dread to think what The Police will be like.
Will Sting bring his jazz noodlings to the fore?
Will Andy Summers live long enough?
