Saturday morning I watched the new VH1 show "Bands Reunited." I'd seen plenty of commercials advertising it, and wasn't that interested. Fortunately for me, there was nothing else on that morning, because the show is good. The episode I watched was the reunion of the band Berlin, famous for the song "Take My Breath Away" from the Top Gun soundtrack.

I was amazed at how easily I was sucked into this story -- considering I had only a passing familiarity with the band. But this story, of people who had long since left the music industry behind, who hadn't seen each other in over a decade, and how they were coerced back together for one last show was mesmerizing. Berlin apparently didn't have the smoothest of breakups, so seeing the reunion and the forgiveness of the old wounds was pretty cool as well. Finally, I have to admit, they sounded pretty good in their concert given only a couple of days to rehearse after not playing together in over 10 years. The band members seemed to be savoring every second of the concert. It was, for everyone involved, a blissful trip back in time. Consider me hooked.
