I gotta run, there's a Beach Boys concert tonight and they have one of the original guitarists.

Oh if only THAT were true. The only original member left is the most odious and useless one, Mike Love. Calling that army of sidemen he's got onstage "The Beach Boys" is a sick joke.[:(]

Hence my choice of that group to mention.

This is a great idea. I think there are a lot of defunct bands out there whose members would surely love to get together and "reunite."

For instance, just think of a Kajagoogoo reunion tour, with Johnny Rotten and Steve Jones at the helm.

Or perhaps a Clash reunion tour, with Dale Bozzio filling in for the late Joe Strummer.

Maybe if it's a real success, they can do the heretofore unthinkable, and get The Smiths back together. Morrissey's not interested? That's okay, because Robert Smith would kill for the gig.

Where can I get those Clash tickets? LOL I don't think I could have come up with better bad mixes if I'd tried...LOL.

Not only did this give me a laugh but it's also not that far from the truth.

Hell, I'll pay for these guys NOT to play.

Kind of like Oingo Boingo without Danny Elfman. Pretty good band but it's just not the same.

Response to Zom Zom,

Rundgren Blows? Go get your head examined zom zom, will you? Todd Rundgren will be the Best thing to ever happen to the Cars. Look what Todd did for bands like Grand Funk Railroad and Meatloaf!

Grand Funk's We're an American Band and Meatloaf's Bat Out Of Hell are 2 of the greatest Albums and Best Selling Albums of all time! Thanks to Todd Rundgren.

Todd Rundgren has more talent than all of the Cars band members put together, bud! Learn something about music before you make dumb posts!

No interest from me since Ocasek isn't involved - that would make it a more legit 'Cars' lineup for me.

Rundgren produced a lot of great stuff - The Furs' "Forever Now" and XTC's "Skylarking" albums are just two new-wave era albums that come to mind. I'm fairly certain that Prairie Prince was the drummer on Skylarking as well. Not that it would influence me to see this Cars lineup though....
