So, pardon me for being a "Debbie Downer" for considering things like "facts" & "trends" and impersonal concepts like "over-saturation" when discussing the band's future- it doesn't make me any less of a fan. ESPECIALLY since its generally accepted by most (not just me) that the band basically exists in 2009 to make money... and where do 99.9% of all bands make most of their money?

I don't think the band is just in it to make money, but I find the objective bases for your conclusions very convincing. It's certainly a dollars game. We know it and Azoff knows it.
Maybe they can do the sheds next summer, if they have some product to promote. Even if it's just that Rumours CD/DVD, but 2010 definitely does seem to be pushing their luck. They haven't forgotten the sting of the 2nd leg of the SYW tour.
