You are onto something there. Lindsey needs to call up the rest of the Heartbreakers and strike a deal. They are a world-class band that can play just about any style he throws at them, and he already knows most of them.

I think it's unfortunate that some fans are being disrespectful to Mike and Neil, who were simply the guys who answered the phone and said, "Yes."

Even though FM, Crowded House, and TP and the Heartbreakers are three of my all-time favorite bands, I'm not sure that I'll go to the Houston show. But that has nothing to do with Neil and Mike. I think FM tickets are overpriced, I think they're greedy millionaires who insist on selling tickets months (sometimes up to 11 months) in advance of the shows, and they always do Amex pre-sales (I'm not an Amex customer).

But if they release an album, I'll most likely buy it!
