From Wikipedia's entry on the band Renaissance:

"As touring began to grind on them, the band gradually dissolved one by one."

I do not think that was what the writer meant to say...

But it would make a great horror story. (Not as great as The Armageddon Rag, but what is?)

And here's me trying to find a clever quip based on either softly and silently vanishing away, or, alternatively, quietly, overhead, the stars going out.

Either way, being ground down does make things dissolve more easily. :-)

(More seriously, I'd be unsurprised if that was written by a native speaker of Italian or Portugese, as Italy and Brazil both have lots of Renaissance fans.)

I'm absolutely certain that's not what the writer meant to say... Dear me! There goes the English language yet again!

But what a wonderful image. Like Haydn's 'Farewell Symphony' but with added visual effects...

Sounds like a pitch for Torchwood. Especially if you misread "touring" as "Turing"... =:o}

Just his way of saying they failed the Touring Test
