The Stone Roses Reunion

This isn't exactly new news (it has been all over the internet since it was announced this morning), but it's still worth talking about because it is so massive. I was only 6 when the Roses split up, and only got into there music some years later. I have seen Ian Brown, I have seen Mani play with Primal Scream, and thats as close as I thought I would get. Until now. Despite years when all of the members denied rigorously that this moment would ever happen (Mani once said they would 'reform when Manchester City won the European Cup'), the moment came this morning in a London hotel. People talk of money, which is probably a factor, but you do get the feeling the Roses never got to fulfil the potential they clearly had, plagued by internal fighting and conflict with their record label, which explains why there has always been such longing for a reunion. Well now it is here, and Heaton Park, Manchester on the 29th and 30th of June 2012 will be the place to be.
