And Petty is not afraid to downplay his megastardom by playing small venues & launching tours without quite so much pomp & circumstance, which is something Fleetwood Mac would have to do if they want to approach the concert experience on entirely different terms.
You can't give it up like Cracker or the Grateful Dead if you trumpet your worldwide tour with the sort of heraldry usually reserved for royalty. If you want to play on a more elemental level & toss new ideas around, you probably need to ditch your million-dollar guarantees & your exorbitant ticket prices & all the rest of the brouhaha.
