I didn't see this one, and frankly have been assuming the "joke" of the
series was to reunite bands that were basically lame '80s bands; I told my
brother that Kajagoogoo would be next as a JOKE, and damn, there they were.
I'm waiting for Men Without Hats.  Or did they do that one already...

Anyway, I just talked to my friend John, who was my guitar teacher for 10
years (which means, among other things, the man has the patience of a
saint.)  He is black and a blues player mainly, which I mention only in the
context that I'd have thought he'd have the same contempt for bands like
Flock that I do.  But he was raving about the guitar player, said he got
that "Edge-like" sound before the Edge had popularized it, that back in the
day he was really impressed with the guy.  So go figure.
