HOLY FUCKING SHIT! IT MIGHT HAPPEN!

I have no other words for you aside from what I've cribbed from an interview with Paul Westerberg. Bunker and Nathan are gonne be stoked. Also, I would like to add, I will gladly get tanked for the 'Mats so they don't have to cary the burden if this happens. Paul, you're man enough to do this. Quit fucking around.
Stinson: We actually talked about it again this year, and I think there was a consensus that, you know, maybe it wasn’t the right time (to reunite), or maybe it is the right time. Paul and I were kind of in cahoots talking to them, talking to (his manager) Darren (Hill). There were some things thrown out, and there were other festivals that wanted it too, if we were going to do it. At the last minute, it just didn’t seem like the right thing to do, so we didn’t do it. But I think Paul and I have something to offer each other still. I think that’s pretty obvious when we get together. Westerberg: I’m very hesitant about dragging the name out there and what damage we could do to the legend. Whatever we did, someone would want something else. If I went up there straight, they’d want us wasted. If we were f—ked up, they’d want us to be this or that. But, I don’t know. The records hold the key to the whole thing. So if I was ever going to play, I’d like to play once the whole shooting match is out, because I don’t think I could physically get up there and bellow these 18 songs (from) that first record. That’s just sheer youth there. I can’t find that in a bottle or a pill. I’m just too creaky for that.

I'm gonna have to give this one a big "Ehhh."
They sure couldn't play "Shiftless When Idle" unless Paul wants to change the lyrics to "Tommy's too young/Bobby's too dead."
Not to mention Tommy has been working with Axl Rose for a really long time. So long that he may have gone koo-koo.
You may like to know that Chris Mars has become a pretty successful painter. Whatever that means.
