The New York Times writes about all the old dinosaur bands resurrecting themselves with new lead singers these days. The focus of the article seems to be whether, with such a profound change, a band is justified in continuing under the same name. The more profound issue is why so few acts let themselves die a dignified death anymore. One needs to wonder what it is about rock musicianship that prevents members of dinosaur bands from ever evolving any new chops and moving on and what it is about rock consumers’ sensibilities that encourages the musicians to do the same old things over and over again ad nauseum. And why in the world the New York TImes covers the phenomenon in an equally shallow manner.
