When does music become more than entertainment?

When it was admitted on various websites, blogs, and other forms of online news medias that Jane's Addiction would be getting back together to play at La Cita downtown, there was a sudden frenzy. Was this actually going to be with Eric Avery, the original bass player, who besides the NME's Godlike Genius award show in April, hasn't been playing with the band since 1991? Before that show in April, there was no hope that Eric would ever rejoin the band. For the first reunion in 97, Perry and the Boys decided on Flea to be their Bass player, but that was after Avery firmly said "NO." Other tours included Alanis Morissette's Chris Chaney on Bass, and oddly enough, Eric had played for Alanis also, and even dated her briefly. Martin Lenoble, who played Bass in Farrell's other project 'Porno for Pyros, had also been enlisted, for a brief period before Chaney.
All of these alternate Bass players are extraordinary musicians. But most fans will agree that having Eric back into the mix makes a huge difference. Canadian Barton Saunders flew in from Toronto just for the set, which he got into by sleeping on the sidewalk outside of La Cita, and than hanging out in the bar all day. I myself spent over 5 hours in line and didn't get in. That's the last time I'll stand in line that long for a show. I'd only do it for these guys. Even "Jane" Bainter, whom the band is named after, was asking me how she could get on the list!
So, I guess something must be in the stars, because that was the same day I heard that good Old Axl and his band is finally releasing Chinese Democracy, albeit only through Best Buy. Maybe Janes and Guns will tour together? Two L.A. legends of yore? Two champions who used to be at odds? I'm sure many Jane's fans would hate me for suggesting that bill, but you have to admit, it would be interesting. I know Axl was wearing a Janes Addiction show at a certain Rock in Rio gig. Guess he didn't have anything left to prove at that point, he could admit that he loved a fellow band from the city of angels. I heard in the early days the band didn't exactly love each other. I get that it was a more passive aggressive rivalry though. Now getting the original lineup for Guns and roses, that would surely be more than entertainment- that would be a miracle. But who knows? After all, this is the city of angels.
