well the sad fact is it isn't just the 5 band members who sit down and hash all this stuff out like the set lists and venues and etc etc. They are all to one degree or another surrounded by a bunch of voices yapping in their ears (managers, lawyers, accountants, hairdressers, spouses, friends, etc etc etc) telling them what they should do. So even if Mick heard a great new idea from a fan (doubtful; they hear the same stuff over and over--not a slam on Ledgies, just how it goes) and he took that great idea to the band, and even if the band loved it, someone's manager somewhere or PR agent or whomever will say "oh no you can't do that that isn't a big enough venue for a star like you" or "you can't agree to that you'll be giving up your extra share of the pie and then that will set a precedent for the next album/tour/whatever and you won't get as big a cut on that" and on and on and on. They and we are lucky they can agree enough to get out on the road at all… and fingers crossed maybe get an album out. Expressing a hope for an album I think is totally legit.Just don't start telling him how they should produce it LOL
