now, now, gotta make sure the other bands stick around also...

Maybe as a group thing...  trouble is, most interest from stuff like this
would be for old stuff, something BOC has had no trouble getting out,
as opposed to interest in new material...

I actually thought that the film work they did on Bad Channels was the
way to go, but for whatever reason there hasn't been any follow up
projects like that.  (hey, didn't Floyd revive a questionable status
while doing film work?)

As far as other group tour kinda things, the main thing that BOC has in
common with other "hasbeens" from the 70's is that they're from the
70's.  A few of the others potential groups had stuff marginally in the same
s-f vein like Styx (though not as sinister), though I'd wish they could hook up
with some of the other s-f bands like all the other "windcarnations" we see
on the other half of the list.  They'd fit in there better, I think.

wasn't his name "ross eyes", which abreviated to "reyes"?
or was that a hallucination?
