Frankie Goes to Hollywood...again

Wonder if New Order will ever fall prey to the package tours that will surely pop up in the passing decades from now. I know in the States we've got 60s and 70s bands with one or two hits touring around stadiums and such, tis only a matter of time before enough interest in the Eighties calls for a similar deal. I hope New Order don't do such a thing, it would mean Spandau Ballet having to give up the headling spot, and Kajagoogoo and Winger would have to be bumped off altogether.......

that it is a truly disturbing thought. can u imagine what barneys beer guts going to look like in 20 years?that`s how disturbing.

..it is.

What, beer guts aren't attractive to women? Damn, I'm screwed.

I really posted that just as a way to get in a swipe at Spandau Ballet et al., I'm sure some of those one-hit wonders will band together for a horrifying tour to let people know just how far a royalty check for "True" goes, what with taxes and all. I just think it's funny to see SB on Where are They Now (subtitle: Who Cares?)

.....let's not forget the Mullets now, children......do you hear???

Redo "True" with a cameo by Doctor Dre, Eminem, and Lil Kim, that'll get the kids in the marketplace!

Actually I figured out how Spandau Ballet probably keeps from going under. I was watching Unsolved Mysteries and a commercial came on for romantic songs or some other BS, and "True" was among the titles included. All they do is liscense it for any old TV compilation, and they're rolling in the dough from royalty checks! New Order should do that....no, strike that.

actually its a frightening thought but certain members of spandau, well ok only one, are doing pretty well in the uk. the pretty boy(im assured in those lean years we know as the 80s he was considered pretty) bassist is now a very famous soap star appearing in a program called "eastenders". for anyone whos seen eastenders recently i reckon that over the next 20yrs hooky`s going to blossom into a fat harry slater lookalike..

This is better than a chat room, by the time you've responded to something in a chat room the discussion may have moved on. Message boards rule, hands down.....

well, i thought about it, but the questions are a bit hard for me...im not very good at making the old definitive statements..yes basically im fickler than the uk pop market..
