Scholars of the new wave, please explain to the rest of us why we should (or shouldn't) be intrigued by Jim Kerr (who may not even make the Top Ten Not-Bonos list anymore) reuniting with his original rhythm section, as this line-up is not the one that recorded "Don't You Forget About Me." Baby! [antiMUSIC]

as this line-up is not the one that recorded "Don't You Forget About Me."

Precisely! But we've been down this road...

Much as I love those first few albums, especially the stretch from Empires and Dance to New Gold Dream, I have a hard time imagining they can capture the moment again unless they tie down Kerr to a chair and gag him.
