What We Lack<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Discounting longtime collaborators in rock ‘n roll who finally split, from The Everly Brothers to John and Paul to Roger and David to Ray and Dave, what are the most regretful, early breakups in rock ‘n roll? I’m listening to Big Star’s #1 Record<\/strong> and some related outtakes, and say what you will about the other two records and Chris Bell’s solo record, the pairing of Alex Chilton and Bell is PERFECT. Bell soothes the restless, frayed Chilton; Chilton lends a testicle to Bell. In a similar vein, Chris Stamey<\/strong> and Peter Holsapple<\/strong> split too soon, and that reunion 128-string guitar workout doesn’t count as them getting back together again. A box off aesthetic salt peter was dumped into the making of Mavericks<\/em>! Again, though, the last thing I want is for us to get side-tracked talking about that album.<\/p>\n

I’d argue that other short-time couples, like Bryan Ferry<\/strong> and Brian Eno<\/strong>, had run their course. No regrets. Can we still be friends?<\/em><\/p>\n

What about the breakup of Paul and Hamish Stuart<\/a><\/strong>? Too short a period of collaboration or just enough time for closure?<\/p>\n

I’m sure you’ve got your own regretful breakups to discuss. I look forward to your comments, but remember, no regrets over partnerships that simply ran their course. There ain’t no good guy, there ain’t no bad guy…<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
