So I haven't posted in a while because I got to the tenth post and couldn't decide what to post about because I felt that the tenth post should be something special you know? Well tonight that happened. Blink-182 made their first public appearance together since the break up. This event occurred at the 51st Annual Grammy Awards. Before they presented an award for rock album or something. They announced their return. There has been much speculation after it was announced that the three members were back to hanging out together. This was the first official public announcement to confirm all the rumors that so many were wishing to be true. On their website they have also left a personal statement saying:
"Hi. We're blink-182. This past week there've been a lot of questions about the current status of the band, and we wanted you to hear it straight from us. To put it simply, we're back. We mean, really back. Picking up where we left off and then some. In the studio writing and recording a new album. Preparing to tour the world yet again. Friendships reformed. 17 years deep in our legacy. Summer 2009. Thanks and get ready..."
Blink-182, welcome back. I'm incredibly stoked. It's going to be a gnarly year.
"I think we're gonna be one of those bands that's around forever, and always makes records, even if no one's buying them and using them for toilet paper, but we'll still make them because they'll be the best fucking toilet paper anyones ever used."
--Tom DeLonge (Urethra Chronicles Part II)
