That was an excellent read. Makes me wish I could relive Ocean Rain in NY.

Best line:

You know that there's not going to be any prolonged detours where you have to suffer their 'difficult' new direction; you know that the show is not going to consist of their as-yet-unreleased concept album about an eco-warrior family living in the suburbs of California (yes, we're looking at you, Neil Young).
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

I hope MrB is paying you for all this overtime. :wink:

I like how they have that pic of Ian, Will...and Les...from 1997. At least the press is catching up and not using the Grey Album promo shots.

No shit, you know exactly what you're going to get when you go to see the Bunnymen which is precisely why I don't go to see them anymore.

I think the writer of this piece is probably a bit too pleased with himself with his own clever turns of phrase and tongue-in-cheek Bunnymen album/song references...

I'm easily pleased.

Apparently so, given your overenthusiasm for a certain bronzed, muscled, now-retired Austrian tennis player...

Begs the question, was the interview edited away to nothing or was the twit wrong?
Every word is like an unnecessary stain on silence and nothingness.
