Wasting some more "ink"

I swear somebody gave someone semi-important a hand-job, because announcing the break up of A-ha is so unnecessary that I found it a day a late! The Rock Daily didn't consider it important, as it is not news on their homepage. Thanks to Side-line.com, I became hip to the most un-hip news eva. For crying out loud their last album Foot of The Mountain didn't even enter the Hot 100, their last charting was in 1988 at 148 for Billboard 200, need I say more. This band does prove the point I've made about the UK because 20 yrs after A-ha's last charting in the states, their final album was a top ten UK hit, but us Americans know how they cherish artists who are has-beens everywhere else in the free world. A-ha formed in 1982, had their biggest U.S. hit in 1985, and is performing their farewell tour in Oslo, Norway well over a year from now, on Dec 4 2010. They're so tired that they are announcing their departure a year before it happens - someone needs to sell tickets!
