For me it was the Buzzcocks reunion that changed my mind about reunion
shows.  I went with nothing but great hesitation, and then they proceeded to
blow me away.  Those geezers rocked. Period. Full stop.

It's because of them that I went to see reunited Mission of Burma, Pixies,
Gang of Four, Polvo, etc., etc.

See you tonight at the X show, man!
