>>I've found it difficult to cling to my old resolution to always resist 
>>reunion tours.

Funny, I was also having this conversation at the bar last week.  When
the first wave of reunions took place in the '90's (Sex Pistols,
Buzzcock, etc) - I resisted.  I think the first one I went to was The
Descendents in '96...and it was amazing (as was the reunion album
Everything Sucks.) And now I've seen so many (including X back in 2000
when they first reformed the original line-up) and not only can I
recall a bad show but most reunion shows have been incredible,
including the aforementioned Mission of Burma and others such as Gang
of Four and Pylon, not to mention the recent Polvo/Pressure Boys
shows.  I'll definitely be there tonight!...and can't believe  it took
so long to sell-out....glenn
