It would be nice to think so. I've been disappointed with 2018's performance. It promised so much and delivered so little. Disappointed? Are you kidding? 2018 saw the final nail driven into the coffin of STeVE’s so-called “career”. His life has been reduced to chauffeuring his kids around and re-opening old threads. All of his remasturbated glories are now in the past tense. He will never get the chance to start another one of his inane “adventures in mastering” threads. The dude is done! From here on out, STeVE will forever be a pathetic has-been. 2018 will go down as one of the sweetest years for everyone who has ever been called “pal” or asked if they “capisce” by the asshole...

You're right, the life support machine was officially switched off in May. I suppose I was just hoping that Mark E Smith and Glenn Branca would pull through and everyone who was ever a member of Chicago, Queen, Kansas, Styx or Klaatu would drop dead instead. Hence the overarching sense of disappointment.

Hence the overarching sense of disappointment. If nothing else, it'd be hilarious for the current eleven official members of Chicago to all bite the dust in one go, especially as they're now including the guy that replaced the guy that replaced Peter Cetera, and they've made the guy who depped for the guy who depped for the original sax player an official member (the guy who depped for the original sax player is still in the band, but he's not touring with them) too. Oh, and they've also replaced the original percussionist (who did indeed expire this year), but they've now replaced him with his own brother. What a fucking shitshow of a 'band'.

I hope Joe Perry makes it. He still has so much third-hand knocked-off sub-Stonesian bullshit to give.

Lightweights compared to Blood Sweat and Tears, who just replaced American Idol Bo Bice with some new singer, who becomes something like the 200th member of that group. They are on their triumphant 50th anniversary tour, even though nobody in the band was around for the 30th. Even a simple band like Iron Butterfly has had about 70 members now. That's four members for every minute of their one song... Until the last Baby Boomer croaks, bands like this will continue to sing for their supper. Even Jefferson Starship is still in business. Death is not the end, and rock and roll will never die... And 2018 was a letdown, no doubt about it. However, we are entering death's busy time of year. I predict we'll still see one or two giants topple before the year is done.

Why is everyone ignoring the fact that Billy Joel played "Walk This Way"?

Sweet Jesus. No living person under 90 should look that bad. But then Shane's a special case I guess; I don't see the appeal of The Pogues, but Victoria Mary Clark's biography of her now-husband is an entertaining read.
