Bands shouldn’t have a “Final Tour”, they should be honest and call it the “Pre-Reunion Tour”. Eventually their individual needs for attention or money will overwhelm their hatred for each other.

Good job, college sports, giving up even more of the lie that your indentured-servant minor-leaguers are somehow “student-athletes” by building tens of coast-to-coast flights into your seasons. Even people actually taking real classes couldn’t study under those conditions.
