Chuck HinsonTHE KINKS to Reunite??
September 7th 2008 08:11
In fact, tens of thousands of fans were thrilled with the news that they were planning a tour this year, on the heels of the famous Led Zeppelin reunion.
BUT ...
Now Dave says it's unlikely. According to him, a reunion of the band would be like "a rerun of Night of The Livin' Dead". Besides, he's still recovering from a stroke he had back in 2004, and Mick has had some serious problems with this kidneys.
He's also said that his brother has been playing "Karaoke Kinks" since the band's breakup in 1996. In the midst of this tirade, Ray's optimistic. He feels that, at least, his brother's speaking out about it, so it's on his mind; if there, then it's still a possibility!
SWEET HOME WHERE??
Truth is, this band has successfully blended mainstream rock with Southern country. But they also teach all of us the importance of perseverance despite setbacks. And, though Alabama really needs an update (how many kids remember Watergate, or what Neil Young actually sang about Alabama?), their songs will definitely live on for generations!
(BTW: Didja know they got their name from an old high school gym teacher who had two of the band suspended back in the day? His name was ... Leonard Skinner!)
Well, that's it for now, yardbirds! So, until tomorrow, remember:
Keep your eyes on the skies, your feet on the ground, your heart with the music ...
and I'll see ya on the flip side!
