You are maybe unfamiliar with Cab Calloway or Duke Ellington or Benny Goodman and their musicians. Anyway if they did reunite they might continue right on writing whatever music they would be writing together if they'd stayed together all this time. It doesn't necessarily mean a rerun of the 80s hits. I doubt he would take it out of the rehearsal hall if they weren't working out. But quit being a performer? hell no.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9138869043417614172.post-48832917071900014282015-02-24T16:53:13.548-05:002015-02-24T16:53:13.548-05:00Of course, the above penultimate sentence should r...Of course, the above penultimate sentence should read "...neither forestall nor reverse it."<br />I can`t type worth shit.from 23rdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9138869043417614172.post-88846343788796025312015-02-24T16:49:56.360-05:002015-02-24T16:49:56.360-05:00I`m sorry, but I can`t work up any enthusiasm for ...I`m sorry, but I can`t work up any enthusiasm for this.

State tour was sad, Unpreditable tours are embarrassingly lame, but a reunited Utopia might really cook! thom Jennings is a bogus 'critic' hyping Global, but he is a damn good interviewer and his enthusiasm over a potential Utopia reunion on the RR show was infectious.

That tour was a great event (please release the Peekskill show, I'm jonesing!) and I would support another chance to see it. Of course it would be great to see Roger again as well, so whatever happens I am there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9138869043417614172.post-14013171907325082122015-02-22T03:29:12.373-05:002015-02-22T03:29:12.373-05:00UTOPIA REUNION!!!!!

Crossed fingers it happens as early as the fall, and they also make a new CD. I think it would revitalize them all. SUCH great musicians. :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
