Think if it this way...some kids who dig the Hives may find their way back,
through to the Nomads, then wayback to the Tages?  Who knows?

And Jonny's right.  "Flavor of the month"  Many, if not most, of the bands
we like weren't even flavors of the day.  Had empty-vee existed in 1966,
you can well believe that bands such as We the People would have been
working to get on their.  We can't downplay the quality and significance
of music just because of our times and mass-marketing phenomena.  To
do so is just....well....snobbish.
