You know John and George have kids who play and look like young versions of them.... I'm just saying!
Hey this can be a fun game. Who should hook up with the bassist and drummer to reform a band. Here's a start: Adam Levine singing lead in the Wham reunion. Maxwell and the Family Stone?

i guess if the fans are willing to pay the money for these glorified cover bands, then fine.....but i think that it diminishes the artists' legacy. i understand you need to make money, but use a different name!
