What do you think about the Boomtown Rats comeback?.
(Preview)
I cannot find out whether I am for this or not.No Bob or Pete,Johhny might turn up later.It seems like a good way for Pete and Gary to make some money.On the other hand it is exiting that The Rats are back. I am confused.What do you others think.Are you for this or not?.
