this will make all of you happy, cuz it sure made me happy, blink 182 lives.
In the wake of Tuesday's announcement that Blink-182 were taking an "indefinite hiatus," the sound of fans typing on the Internet was deafening, while Blink themselves stayed silent - even as rumors of band infighting spread.
So perhaps
"We want to enjoy ourselves and regroup and write a record when it's the right time." - Blink-182's Travis Barker
to quiet both the rumors and the bloggers, Blink drummer Travis Barker finally said something, calling up Los Angeles radio station KROQ - unbeknownst to the band's management - and attempting to set the record straight on just what happened. (Click here for a retrospective look at Blink-182)
"I think it's healthy to take a break. We did the same thing four years ago. Blink took a break, and Boxcar [Racer] happened and that's the same way with this," Barker told KROQ's Kevin and Bean. "We're taking a break and letting everyone be creative on their time off, and have fun and come back when it's time and when it's ready and right. I believe there's great things in the future."
