If Stevie doesnt get the arm back to Tambourine playing capacity, I'm scalping my tickets. How COULD the show go on!?
When I first read the part of Lindsey's "cash grabbing" statement, I was somewhat dissapointed in him. But then you have to think, he's put out three albums and gone on tour twice, just to do his thing. Obviously those wern't cash grabs. If anything, the other members are more dissapointing for taking part. I don't fault John, because he'd be there regardless of a new album, and I'm pretty sure he didnt mind putting his solo career on hold.
Frankly, I got amped for the tour when they announced it. I was going to buy tix for DC and Philly in addition to the Pittsburgh ones I already had, but I'm not anymore. Opening will be enough for me. A new album would be interesting, but I really dont care. IMO Stevie's work on SYW was sub-par (and a few of Lindsey's too) so I have very little faith in a new effort.
I'd be much more eager for the tour to be over, for Lindsey to get active again. But maybe we're all spoiling ourselves with anticipation. Im sure people couldnt WAIT for the follow up to OOTC....
