what year is this again? the year led zeppelin has reformed, the eagles have just released a new album and donny and marie osmond, the heinous toothy mormon child stars with blazing full-blast incisors so bright white they could make a blind man see, are more popular than ever (despite her clumsy dance moves on america’s fave tv show: dancing with the stars). and now the bbc has reported that the jackson five may even reunite! don’t get me wrong, I used to love the jackson five, when I was seven, and michael had an afro, when I had a transistor radio (man, I am really aging myself here, but you should have figured I grew up on motown and bacharach and the fifth dimension and barbra streisand). but now? it’s just sad, innit.
