Very Interesting from Gene Stout’s blog, quoting Jeff Ament:

“There’s been a few e-mails exchanged and a few jokes about how we’ll get our hair that big and long again,” he said. “We might all have to go in for weaves. If we got together and wrote a couple of songs and put out a single, that’d be more important to me than playing a show; just getting in a room together.”
