At the prices Fleetwood Mac charges, you think they're trying to lure in new teenage fans? You think many teenagers are going to these concerts at those prices?
I honestly do not understand the desire some people have to defend the band on this level.

#1 I think Springsteen appeals to a wider audience than Fleetwood Mac does...so that could account for the larger crowds. I'm also under the impression that they tour a helluva' lot less than Fleetwood Mac does. Weren't the "broken up" for a long time?
#2 I didnt say they were
trying to lure in new fans...but if some kid recognizes and old song, well guess what, then they're pushing old catalog material as well as the new CD. I was implying that it
was about money.
#3 Hey, I like Fleetwood Mac. They're my favorite band. I'm not entirely happy with the set list either...but there is absolutely nothing I can do about it. Other than to boycott, and simply not go to shows. Which I wont do, because
some Fleetwood Mac is better than none.
