Re: 3 J's for Glastonbury??

Thanks for sharing this -
i also like (and agree) with his comments on other reunions -  
especially this:

And Smashing Pumpkins: that was like Paul & Ringo going out and  
calling themselves the Beatles.

And I'm not even going to get in to the Pink Floyd argument. I will  
only say this: Roger Waters solo tour = Pink Floyd. David Gilmour's  
Roger Waters-less version of Pink Floyd = good, but not nearly as  
great as Roger Waters solo (and then there's Gilmour playing his solo  
stuff with some classic Floyd mixed in, which I will also call great)
