Vital Music News - Elder

Vital Music News - Elder from Fraters Libertas worries about my post ribbing JB Doubtless' taste in music:

"Does this mean that my dreams for a Northern Alliance band (JB on geetar, Lileks on keyboards, Atomizer on triangle, and Mitch on everything else) are dead?

Of course not. What would the Beatles have been without the dissonance between Lennon and McCartney? Would The Who have been better had Daltrey and Townsend not come to blows constantly? Where would Sinatra have ended up without the Gallo/Gambino feud? Where would the E Street Band ended up if Springsteen had gotten along with Vinnie "Mad Dog" Lopez, instead of firing him in 1974?

No, the Northern Alliance Band (JB on guitar, Lileks on keys, Atomizer or "A-Dog" on triangle, and me on guitar, bass, drums, mandolin or harmonica or whatever needed) will surivive a little cognitive dissonance.

On some matters, anyway:

I wonder if it's too late to return my 'Colonel' outfit.

There, we could have problems.

So it's "Gabba Gabba Hey", and let's conquer the day!
