YOU COULDNT MAKE IT UP

I was thinking of making up some kind of fake sweep stake and give out a no prize to whatever old long gone band who's name i picked if they re-formed to play at the next mega concert, i ran the names of a few bands through my head and then went about looking for photos of them on the net, the first band i picked were BLITZKRIEG BOP. So i G**GLED in the bands name and found their 'official website', "oh oh" i thought, this band split up donkey's years ago but the website had a modern dateline on it, had the band reformed before i have had a chance to cuss them for it? Yes they fucking had.



BLITZKRIEG BOP (above) WHAT A LAME NAME FOR A BAND.


The band had beaten me to it. Not only does their website have new and 'stuff' it also has their last TV appearance on a Youtube clip, the clips were recorded in the 1980's and to be honest i could only get a wee bit into the first song, it was shite eighties DURAN DURAN sound-alike tune and the band had KING (remember them?) sized/like mullets, i doubt the reformed band will include that song in their set list.
The whole 'old band' thing reminds me of when MOHAMMED ALI was dragged out into the ring for his last couple of fights, it was initially great to see him climb into the ring but once he got started it was obvious that his time had come and he should move over for younger fighters.

The second band i had in mind were ACCIDENT ON THE EAST LANCS, so far this lot have not decided to reform, their singer ANDY SHARROCKS is quite happy being a 'wondering gypsy troubadour' guitar on stool man typa guy. but the band, if they were offered the same silly money that the other bands have been offered might do it yet, one never knows after all if you were offered a lot of cash to relive your youth, bask in the reflected glory of audience adulation and get a blow job off a nubile young lady (or chap) would you refuse?
I tried to get a picture of ACCIDENT ON THE EAST LANCS off a website and when i tried a pop up came that said "naughty naughty get your own picture", for fucks sake it was a photo of a 45's inner label, not quite an original. Cheeky selfish (with others efforts) bastards.
