Hell, I'll take the Teletubby inspired Zwan album art over this any day.<BR/><BR/>I was thinking about it more though, and you're right. A band cannot simply make things better. It don't work like that because, well, what is "better" in the first place? After watching parts of the, and I'll borrow you're word, "clusterfuck" of a Republican Presidential candidate debate, I heard some very interesting visions for what "better" would be.<BR/><BR/>Hell, I'm just a sucker for 60's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2879595029217970857.post-9367818982724242732007-05-20T12:22:00.000-04:002007-05-20T12:22:00.000-04:00The last thing I recall hearing about Rage pre-bre...The last thing I recall hearing about Rage pre-breakup/hiatus/whatever was them playing at some Presidential rally... I don't think it was for Gore, but in the clusterfuck/recount that followed they seemed to kinda fade out of sight. I know the guys in that band are much stronger in their political convictions than myself, but I would feel a bit of futility at that point in time. It's like that particular counterculture movement was meeting with much more resistance by the religious-right in the USA than ever before...<BR/><BR/>So maybe it was time for a break. Maybe (hopefully) they realize that things aren't going to just get better, and that this is the perfect time for them to come back.<BR/><BR/>Also: I contest the notion that the Pumpkins are "reuniting" at all... Chamberlain played with Billy Corgan on everything since the breakup, and adding Melissa Auf Der Mar to a Billy Corgan solo album does NOT constitute a "reunion."<BR/><BR/>I look forward to the album all the same (regardless of the awful album cover).Travishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00797622083582727792noreply@blogger.com
