Not in its purest form, but the music is still alive and influential. You don't hear a new symphony on the radio every day either, but that doesn't mean that Mozart didn't write some good shit that still profoundly affects people.
If anything, now's a great time to go see a hair band. The ones that have survived and are still around are the cream of the crop.
Ditto for the cover bands. If the only thing Hair Force One had going for them was the novelty, everyone and their brother would cash in on it. They're on top of the game because of hard work and determination. Trust me, I was there when HF1 consisted of me and Vic staring at our beers depressed because we'd gone EIGHT MONTHS looking for other members with no luck. You can say what you will about Vic, but he never ever takes his eyes off the prize.
A whole band in kilts!?!?! Damn, those guys are in for some trouble. I don't play well with others as it is. I tried to do a solo album once, but fired myself for creative differences.
