Now who wants to pitch in and buy Matt Lucas et al a box of Kleenex? I'm feeling magnanimous.
Ummm...I'm fine, really. Just sad.

And I'm also not ashamed to admit when I'm wrong or when I jump to conclusions. I don't know that his changes much of anything for me, but...

I just saw the clip of "Storms" in another thread here at The Ledge, and I have to say...WOW.

It sounds fantastic. Great performance by Stevie, great backing vocals. So maybe there IS hope...

Of course there is hope It's really not so dreadful

It's a varied, interesting show as far as I can tell with 6 wonderful musicians - the audience appeared to love it, and the reviews are good.

This forum tends to be very nit picky with ridiculously high expectations.

I can't help but think of Tom telling Stevie that, contrary to her belief, she was NOT in a "rock and roll band". He reported she was mightily miffed at this, but he didn't see FM as having the rock and roll bona fides that the Heartbreakers had. Watching the video of Mike playing along with Christine's performance of Isn't It Midnight I just had to wonder what Tom would think.... it isn't really rock and roll.

Having said that, on a personal level I'm guessing the tour will be good for Mike, to get him beyond his sadness re Tom, and frankly I think will help him move out of Tom's shadow. I don't mean that in a bad way; Tom was the leader and Mike was fine with that. But now that the bandleader is gone, the band members have to find a new path forward, and this will be good for Mike to have even more of a profile on his own, as a player and as a singer on his own, even if it's just Oh Well for this tour.

I am curious to see how it plays out with his relationship with Stevie, as she is the new leader in FM. She's already overridden him on doing Free Falling. Her style on the road is a bit different to what the HB's style was. In the old days they may have partied together; wonder who he hangs with on tour with FM, if anyone. Maybe just his wife and family...?

To the title of this thread, who gives AF if Mike likes flying on a G4? Does anyone not like flying private?
I know, lets have all of them fly commercial because that would be so economical and convenient. One half of the band would wind up in North Dakota due to weather or some sh!t while the gear is in Wyoming and the other half of the band is in an airport because their flight has been delayed.
I bet Lindsey rides a bicycle to his gigs with one of those carrier things on the back for his gear because you know he's Jesus and all.
