The Dream Syndicate - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

I am absolutely against reunions. Why?
Take the Dream Syndicate, for example. Dennis Duck on drums, with his belly, stiff, unconvincing, almost pathetic. Mark Walton now bald, only showing up with a hat on his head. Steve Wynn, out of shape and light years away from what he used to be.
See, I don’t like reunions; they make the characters we loved look ridiculous, and we loved them because they were tied to a time, to an era, to something that has been lost. The context has been lost, what the Anglo-Saxons call the environment, everything that was there has changed to the point of sometimes disappearing. And they, our idols, remain bare, present in contrast to their songs.

Grace Slick said, "Rock is for the young. Continuing at 50 is ridiculous and pathetic. I’m vain; I hate being ridiculous. As for the songs, forget them. The context in which they made sense is dead. But I’m not very rigid either. I like to call myself a vegan, but I’m only that during certain hours of the day, and not every day. I’m old, but I’m not stupid, and I love life just as much as I did half a century ago. The world has gone to hell; I haven’t. If you’re all crazy and believe in your false morality, that’s your problem, not mine."
Grace Slick is right, or at least I share her thoughts.

See, I don't like reunions; they make our beloved characters look ridiculous, and we loved them because they were tied to a time, to an era, to something that has been lost. The surrounding context, what the Anglo-Saxons call environment, everything that was there has changed, sometimes to the point of disappearing. And they, our idols, remain bare, contemporary unlike their songs.

Grace Slick said, "Rock is for young people. Continuing at 50 is ridiculous and pathetic. I am vain; I hate to make a fool of myself. As for the songs, forget about them. The context in which they made sense is dead. But I'm not too rigid, either. I like to call myself a vegan, but I'm only one for certain hours of the day, and not every day.

The Dream Syndicate - When you smile ( live 1984 )
I've seen them many, many times but always without Karl Precoda. And I regret that.
No one like him in the DS anymore.
