It’s not normally something I thought I would watch, but I saw that Bros documentary. I got drawn in by the clips of them saying silly stuff. They did say a lot of silly stuff, the singer is a bit of a wally and an Elton John type diva at times but he, like his brother, is ultimately harmless. They’re both obviously carrying a bit of baggage from the way they were chewed up and spat out as kids, and I can see why they might blame each other a bit, but they’ve done okay by themselves. Would be incredibly easy for one or the other, or both of them, to have ended up sat at the end of a bar and at the bottom of a bottle every night. I think they deserve a bit of credit for going off, not feeling sorry for themselves and making a pretty good go of their lives. (I'm not sure they're quite as successful as was made out, probably a fair slice of artistic license from the makers there. Still doing well for themselves, mind)
What I don’t really understand is why they agreed to even do a reunion in the first place. They both seem to be busy doing stuff, satisfied with their lot and looked like they had pretty comfortable lives. It appeared to be a lot of stress, a lot of churning up of bad memories and grudges to go through for a couple of gigs which wouldn’t net them much cash, and by the looks of it, they didn’t need anyway. I guess that’s performers for you.
