this is sacrilege

taking a page (perhaps) from the stooges' book -- e.g., the hotshot frontguy having realized that the only worthwhile part of his career was the early stuff -- the faces are reforming. possibly with, um, flea on bass. (if you're young, i've always said that bands like the georgia satellites, the black crowes, and to an extent the replacements have been "filling the faces gap.") if the late, lamented ronnie lane -- the chirpy chap responsible for a good part of the sloppy drunk faces' bonhomie and good vibes -- was here, he'd be turning in his grave.
