I don't think that people are upset about them making a living for themselves, but I think that some fans are disappointed and disillusioned that they're are not more "fan friendly" by assuming that the fans don't want to hear new music, don't want them to change their setlist, don't try and promote themselves with a descent Web site, no official You Tube channel, and not trying to make the tickets available to the fans. I personally don't understand why people on here seem to think that the band members are hurting for money, and constantly need to tour to make money. If they need money then it's their own fault, they've all made millions of dollars over the years. Furthermore, I think that the fans are frustrated that they don't use that money to be more creative and make new music, and change their setlist, instead of repeating themselves for what appears to be for more money. All in all, the Mac is not doing nothing that other artist like the Eagles are doing, but since this site is for Mac fans, a lot of people are venting their frustration that so much more could be done. There are definitely more groups and artist that work to give their fans more of what they want and not just repeating themselves for what appears to be just for the money.

And, she does love the road. And, she does love the money & the luxury. I don't know why everyone's upset that they want to make money. This is their job! And it's always been their job. Why do ya'll think they busted their butts in the early days? They wanted to make it big - so they could afford to keep doing it! I'm glad. I would love their lifestyle too. It's nice!
