Dennis on a reunion, again.
Posted: Sat Jan 01, 2022 6:33 amIt looks like Dennis is still commenting on a reunion.

Dennis keeps talking about not seeing the Beatles reunite. This is a summary what John Lennon said in a Playboy interview in 1980:
Asked about whether he would find it “interesting” to see the boys back together, John told Playboy: "Wouldn't it be interesting to take Elvis back to his Sun Records period? I don't know.
“But I'm content to listen to his Sun Records. I don't want to dig him up out of the grave.
“The Beatles don't exist and can never exist again. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Richard Starkey could put on a concert... but it can never be the Beatles singing 'Strawberry Fields' or 'I Am The Walrus' again, because we are not in our 20s.
“We cannot be that again, nor can the people who are listening."
He went on to say he “never went to high school reunions,” and has no romanticism about the past.
He added: “I think of it [the past] only inasmuch as it gave me pleasure or helped me grow psychologically. That is the only thing that interests me about yesterday.
“I don't believe in yesterday, by the way. You know I don't believe in yesterday. I am only interested in what I am doing now."
This final statement could even be a dig at Sir Paul McCartney, given it is going against a direct quote from his bandmate in the classic Beatles hit Yesterday.
At the end of the day, while it is clear the bandmates were happy to collaborate in some way, the Beatles did not look likely to hit the stage once again, even if John and George were still with us.
I'm not trying to stir the pot and start the shit again. I am not somebody who knows a lot about the Beatles...but what John Lennon is saying above is so true. He represents somebody who has let go and moved on from the past and looks to see what is going on NOW, or planning for what is next. That's a good place to be...and if you read the last half of the article, it seems that is where Tommy is as well.
And, it is true, Styx CAN'T be what they were back in 1980. They CAN'T be...even if they reunited. And, that's OK...they are fine the way they are...and are doing better than most bands from their era. They are the Styx of today and tomorrow...they are more than just some classic nostalgia band they offer something new as well....and that is a good thing.
