As I think about this project we’re taking on, I wonder to myself, could this really happen? I don’t mean the project (I have more faith in us than that!) but the idea of a band continuing throughout such a long period of time. Versatility is very important for a band, in my opinion, and I wonder if any group could withstand the test of time enough to shift musically through six decades.
Some might say that bands, notably the Rolling Stones, have done this, but I don’t think the Stones ever varied quite as much as we’re planning to do. Moving from Elvis to…whatever the kids listen to today covers a broad spectrum, one that not many musicians can adequately cover. I’m just throwing these ideas out there, seeing if anyone has any ideas about this.
