They're all old farts now, just like me. But they're still doing their thing. And it's pretty amazing that all these young ledgies & so many other kids idolize them & know all their songs.

I definitely agree with that last sentence! I'm very impressed they're still roping in new folks, many of them who could literally be the
Grandchildren of the bandmembers
. And despite my opinions about the
motives of this tour, I still grin when I see that the band is outselling most current acts.
I guess a big part of me is just hoping they'll push the nostalgia and drama aside, and do one last really kick ass studio album. In my mind, that is starting to seem ever unlikely... but hopefully I'm just too close to the light to see the flame
.
