DAVID: Well let's hear yours. Let's hear your suggestion.
NIGEL: Stonehenge! Stonehenge. It's the best production value we've ever had on stage.
The band starts getting desperate, and this is never more apparent than when they decide to try resurrecting their crumbling product by reviving one of their hits from yesteryear. Unfortunately, the past can rarely be repeated with equivalent success, and this is learned the hard way when the return of "Stonehenge" is an unmitigated flop.

DAVID: No, but it's...you've got to understand that like in the world of rock and roll there are certain changes that sometimes occur, and you've just got to, sort of, roll with them, you know. I mean you read, you read... you saw exactly how many people who's been in this band over the years, 37 people's been in this band over the years. I mean it's like, you know, six months from now, I can't see myself missing Nigel more than I might miss Ross McLochness, or Ronnie Pudding, or Danny Upham, or Little Danny Schindler, or any of those.
The frontman doth protest too much, wethinks. Time might heal all wounds, but it also has a habit of entrenching people indelibly into our lives. If these two have been together for twenty-odd years, cutting the cord cleanly won't be so easy.
