The Smiths to reform for Coachella 2009?

Reports say band are close to reunion deal

I love The Smiths. I was ten when they split up, so only saw them on TV. Unless they are really, really hard up for money, I'd actually rather they didn't reform and instead preserved the mystique.However, some reformations have worked - saw Blondie live and they were brilliant, and Television were amazing, as were The Pixies (all of whom I saw once they reformed). Maybe instead of doing it for the money, if they really are reforming, how about doing it for - gosh shock horror - the music.
