Discussion

The band Poison is making a revival. They are back in the studio, recording tracks and planning tours. I was never really into Poison, to tell you the truth. But I’d think that someone who was into them would be thrilled to go see them live again. Have you ever gone to see a band you were really into, after they had reached their peak of popularity?
