Seriously, yes. Check out Them Crooked Vultures, too. Bass player from Led Zep (if you like that sort of thing. :) born waaaaay back in 1946. Egad, almot 70!

I can never take Chris Cornell seriously again after an album with Timbaland.

Morrissey is 50 and that fool rocks though I suspect it has to do with his replacing his band with younger men. The rocking out is a side benefit.

I think he needed the failure of the Timbaland album to change his mind about a reunion. Prior to that he always said a Soundgarden reunion would never happen.

That's good business saying there will never be a reunion. When there finally is, everyone rushes to see the band thinking it is a one timer.

Do me a fucking favour.

[Voodoo Billy]

No, BF, it's not that kind of favour.

[Dr Evil]

I don't know if he counts as a rocker, but Glen Cambell was on good form on Jools Holland a while back. The sort of thing Mac aimed for with WAYGTDWYL but failed due to weak vocals.

[black francis]

No, BF, it's not that kind of favour.

I'll put it away then.

[Voodoo Billy]

It's in and out like a fucking cuckoo clock.

[black francis]

It's back out now.
