I don't think Stewart was knocking all reunions -- he
is justifiably cynical and dismissive of the New Cars.
 These guys can do what they want, which comes off to

Instinct 2.

Gary L. -- "Dick Around" is a great song, and Hello
Young Lovers may even top the great Lil' Beethoven. 
While Queen-ish is a good description, Sparks was an
influence on Queen back in the day, not the other way
'round.
