Rock Dinosaurs on the Rampage

Apparently you're never to old to rock and roll... even when you really are.

Yes, in support of their new greatest-hits CD, Crosby, Stills & Nash are packing up their colostomy bags, programming the national organ donor registry hotline into their cell phones, taking one last swig of formaldehyde, and heading out on tour!! "It looked like they weren't gonna do "Marrakesh Express," and then, POW... second encore!"

In slightly more respectable (and infinitely more Spinal Tap-ish) news, Iron fekkin' Maiden is set to play some sweet classic metal at the Reading and Leeds festivals. I'd go just to see this dude rock in his shorts...

Iron Maiden 4

These dudes just scream "ENGLAND," don't they?

On the other end of the Limey music regurgitation spectrum, legendary vanishing Scouses The La's are reuniting for some UK dates. (Man, today's NME was like a has-been who's-who!) In addition to their blatant use of extraneous apostrophes and the sickening adoration of pop-obsessed indie-rock devotees everywhere, The La's are perhaps best known for that song that features prominently in So I Married an Axe Murderer.

Is that long-awaited Mike + The Mechanics reunion tour next? We can only hope.
