I just didn't like the idea of doing reunions, period. I could only see it as I'd just be going over the same old ground. I'm only years older and fatter and I'll just do an older, fatter version of me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have always considered reunions to be a way to make a quick buck, and it sells short my own experience of it the first time around.
Let's put it this way: there wouldn't be much point in me attending a high-school reunion now because there wouldn't be anybody there. We'd struggle to raise a quorum.
What strikes me about high-school reunions is the realization that these are people one has known one's whole life.
The chances of a reunion now are less likely. I was thinking of having a 40th anniversary of the band, but now they are really another band, so it's all a bit weird.
And because of the reunion I think we've got more energy and enthusiasm than we've ever had. And it's genuine. I think the fans can detect when you're genuine, when you love what you do, and we love to be there on stage. That's what we thrive on.
Maybe one day I can have a reunion with myself.
I was into sports in high school, but I got kicked out of Richmond High at 17, so I never graduated. However, I still get invites to the class reunions... I don't know that I want to see how everyone looks now.
I've always wanted a 'Full House' reunion, so when you see stuff like this comes back, it's super exciting.
It would be fun to do a reunion show. I hope we do it some day, but it better be soon. We're all getting on.
That's the fun of going to a high school reunion: it's seeing the people who you were close to all those years ago, and re-exploring the relationships of the past.
