'Bad Company'

I've never understood why a band with four hits and two years of relevance 30 years ago is still important. Every couple of years they get back together -- or someone gets together to play music -- or Paul Rodgers joins what remains of Queen to tour.

It's really pathetic. A bunch of old guys that think what they do is good and that people still want to listen to "Can't Get Enough" for the trillionth time. I guess they have to pay the bills just like all of us.

"Bad Company" has had six bass players, five guitarists, three lead vocalists and one drummer, Simon Kirke. So I think we've identified the hanger-on here.

Kirke hasn't saved enough money from Free and Bad Company so he doesn't have to get Bad Company back together for another North American summer tour playing outdoor amphitheatres with Journey or Foreigner opening up. Advertise in the local newspaper and 60-year-old goofs nudge each other in the ribs saying how cool it'd be to get out and see Bad Company. Instead, they fall asleep.
