The Last Member
A band you love has been going forty years. The singer left in 1994, the guitarist died, the bassist quit twice and never came back. Last month the drummer retired. The tour is still booked, the name is still on the ticket, the songs are the same songs, and four people you've never heard of are playing them well.
Is that still the band?
Then ask
- If the drummer had stayed and everyone else was new, would that fix it?
- What if all the original members reunited under a different name that night?
- Does the audience singing along count as part of the band?
The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
