Is EVERYBODY READY for a KINKS REUNION?

By all logic The Kinks should be on the verge of a reunion. "I’m seeing Dave next week," Ray Davies tells Rolling Stone in a new interview. "I hear that Dave is saying stuff in the press like, 'I’ll do it, but Ray doesn’t want to do it.' This is me saying, 'Ray will do it if Dave does it.'"With both Davies brothers on board a reunion should be imminent, but Kinks fans have been teased like this for the 15 years and it never seems to happen. They came close to reuniting with the original line-up in the early 2000s, but that was derailed when bassist Peter Quaife started to develop severe kidney problems. "It's all water under the bridge now," Dave Davies told Rolling Stone shortly after Quaife died in June of 2010. "There was talking of doing weekends in New York with the four of us, but now we shall never know."

1. These days they probably have kinks in their backs and necks...

How old are they now?

Ray = 66
Dave= 64

2. I hear they are still well respected men about town...

'Cause he gets up in the morning,
And he goes to work at nine,
And he comes back home at five-thirty,
Gets the same train every time.
'Cause his world is built 'round punctuality,
It never fails.

3. Glad to hear them say that, but I'll believe it when I see it. n/t
