There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Here is my last vestige of hopefullness about this reunion:
They are doing these dates to get back in festival-headlining shape for Coachella - I mean the drummer has been a professional magician since they broke up.
So - say they had announced 45 dates across the US only to find out that they really sucked. That'd be bad. A better idea is to do the small theater thing and if they can pull off the big fest, make lots of money and perhaps even have fun and like how they sound - then they can schedule more dates.
They opposed this reunion so much for so long - they can't be getting back together JUST to play 11 dates in NA, open for the freaking Chili Peppers in Europe and sell a compilation album. Right?
So - I think everybody who has been waiting for this since it was announced just has to see how it goes. I still kind of can't believe it is happening at all.

I'm getting a kick out of them playing the Burton Cummings Theater. (Burton was the lead singer with Guess Who. Imagining Black Francis tackling "These Eyes" is entertaining.)

They named a theatre after Burton Cummings? Is there a Randy Bachman highway? Hospital? All-you-can-eat buffet?

Heh. Joe and I latch onto the obscure GuessWhoiana.

And oddly enough we're both shakin' all over.

See now, I'm already to go off on some really obscure Guess Who song like "Glamour Boys" or "Life in the Bloodstream" but that would just be wasted effort.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

I just watched a whole Randy Bachman biography a few weeks ago! (I was in northwestern Washington at the time; the hotels up there get the CBC.)
I'm afraid my main reaction was "The Guess Who were Canadian?"

Did you get up every morning at the 'larm clock's warning & take the 8:15 into the city, Katie? I'm sorry, I'll stop now.

Well, you know, I would, but I drive myself to work. Also I have to be there by 8. Minor details, though.
