That's an excellent point. The 'many years ago' part kinda hurts, when we know she has a new cd that could be released any time now, but she's sitting on it til March 1. I think it's the biggest strategic error she could possibly make. Most people here seem to think it's fine, and I can wait til March. Though I am far less excited about buying it next year than I would be if she'd get it out this year.
I think it's very stupid to wait another 6 months to release it- what the hell was the point of working on it to completion for it to just grow mold and sit with her thumbs up a sock until March? Have the spontaneous new work tweaked to death?
Every release has to be in the spring? It's worked so hugely well for her in the past 20 years?
Holiday sales and multi-generation gifters and giftees could make a big difference. People could grow to love the songs by her tour next year and she'd have no excuse not to perform as much of it as she wants.
I wish she'd reconsider and get it out this year, it could be done, but won't be. I think she is being stubborn and short-sighted.
Heh- yes, I can wait
