    - 8( but I think kind of true no matter how much Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist made fun of that point - JD Aug 12, 09:54

- Whether that's true or not doesn't mean that people aren't forming and playing in bands. Bands just don't seem to be as popular as they once were. -- nm - Krusty Aug 12, 08:44
