I see the Ricky Martin thing, and everything is like, just packaged for this moment. Where are they going to be 10 years, 20 years from now?
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Today, they're just up there for the money, just packaged and be gone.
Every 15, 20, 25 years, a new rock and roll record needs to come out and a new rock and roll band needs to come out.
It may be for 20 or 30 years no one has yet been able to decide the length of the life of the black bass.
Virgin Records will probably release their own package sometime next year.
I did some research and tried to pull out some old, classic Van Halen that they had not played in 10 or 15 years. I think that was Sammy's mistake. I he didn't want to do the Dave stuff.
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.
As far as artists and musicians, they don't retire. They might tour less.
They're dressing like in the 50's when they come out to the shows, and many of them have vintage cars.
Now that the 90's are over and more time has gone by, the 80's sound fresh again.
It takes 300 years, it seems, for the great bands to get their due.
