Subject: RE: REM: Breaking Up or Growing Up? From: Mrrzy Date: 03 Oct 11 - 12:35 PM I am thinking of the difference between, say, the Stones and the Beatles. Whose music is more precious? But the question you ask, Bernard, is exquisite. What DO we want them to remember? The music, or us? |

Subject: RE: REM: Breaking Up or Growing Up? From: Bernard Date: 02 Oct 11 - 05:54 PM Seriously, though, some bands gradually morh into their own tribute bands - Battlefield Band, for example, and, to some extent, Fairport... Really, it's down to market forces - when does a performer finally decide to call it a day? We know Harvey Andrews is retiring a year from now, but others just keep on going until the inevitable happens... What memories do we want our audiences to have when we're gone/retired? |
