This isn't a complaint or anything, I'm just curious. Looking at the people wandering around town before in their best togs and wellies, the vast majority heading down there tonight didn't look like they were born first time round.
Everyone to there own and all that but why do so many people want to see a reunion of a band they don't remember at the time?
Fair enough, they knocked out a couple of quality records but wasn't it all about the scene and the buzz at the time as much as the actual music?
I mean, I can appreciate that The Beatles made a few decent tunes and were probably seen as ground breaking at the time but I wouldn't have any interest in going to see the scouse cunts if they did a comeback. ( From the dead in some cases. )
Did it ever cross your mind that those that weren't born at the time, aren't treating it as a reunion but just like any other gig? I agree, a lad kissing merchandise and the fact that at least 20% of interviewees were wearing bucket hats in that video, that's embarrassing and slightly laughable, but again questioning any kid's motives in going to this particular concert, well it's very presumptuous and if you don't mind me saying, slightly pathetic.
Those that think it should be refined to those of the time are equally as pathetic as those who simply are going because it may be seen as the 'scene' thing to do this summer.
