Sadly, Rick, I believe it's "never." The only way the three (four?) original members of Grand Funk Railroad will ever get together again is if the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame inducts our favorite band -- and as we all know that's yet another "never."
The current incarnation of the Best Band in the Land has been touring and playing together for almost eleven straight years -- more than any previous version of the band. Mark seems happy "owning his stage," "controlling his performance," and having his hardcore fans tell him he *IS* Grand Funk Railroad (even if he isn't legally allowed to do so). The current band members (whether under contract or not) seem happy with the flexibility they have to pursue other projects and their popularity and acceptance at current shows.
With everybody so happy and comfortable with the current status quo, Does it make sense to go back to the uncomfortable and hard feelings of the past. I think not, my friend. Perhaps we should let "sleeping dogs lie," and be happy that we have "Bottle Rocket" and a new cover song in "Second Chance."
Funkingly yours,
Bill.
