The picture below was sent to the team of www.blindmelonforum.com by Rogers Stevens with a cryptic quote from the 1979 movie "Being There":

"In the garden, growth has it seasons. First comes spring and summer, but then we have fall and winter.
And then we get spring and summer again. Yes, there will be growth in the spring!"
-Chance the Gardener (Peter Sellers), "Being There"

Some people may wonder if the guys are going to go under the name Blind Melon or not, here is what Rogers Stevens has to say about this and about the way they took the decision to reunite:

Whatever we do, it'll be for the right reasons...what feels proper, not for what we're hearing from the peanut gallery. I for one was very skeptical about all this going out to LA last month, but I'll say this... 30 seconds into the first song I knew it was ON.
I'd imagine Travis was a bit apprehensive himself...he has a deep respect for Shannon and the music, so it must've been weird for him. But somehow he made it cool, thereby earning my respect as well as everyone else's. I could not imagine how it could work, but it did, and now here we are.
It's not about money or glory or any other trivial by product of rock-n-roll success. We coulda cashed in a long time ago but none of us are into doing a nostalgia trip. Either we make something new, while at the same time showing respect to what came before, or we go on and do other things with our lives (all of us were knee deep into other stuff before this came along). And that's no longer an option because we live for this and we want to play together.

I'm sure that we'll have supporters and that at the same time there will be people who will never accept the band without Shannon...not much can be done about that. I assure you, however, that nobody aside from his blood family misses him more than we do..........

I'll leave you with a famous quote to ponder:
"You can please some of the people some of the time, but you can't
please all of the people all of the time." -- Abraham Lincoln"

Blind Melon is in LA (probably at the Wishbone studio) and here is what they posted on their myspace:

12:11 PM - the October Convergence
working, working, working......it's working.................VERY well."

[Here is to moving forward]

Can I get a link to their myspace. I doubt Travis will be able to sound just like Shannon because that would be expecting too much but if he can even ballpark it I will be in heaven!

Oh and this is GREAT NEWS.
