Was TITN a surprise?

[Phoenix]

this has been a really interesting thread.
my 2 cents:
I agree, younger fans not able to "participate" in the 70's used the videos to "connect the dots" I was a HUGE fan of who I called "the magic lady" when I was little. LOVING if anyone falls, Stand back, and of course gypsy. and LOVED got a hold on me (and the video) and sang Holiday Road out loud on every family vacation we ever took. And then when I saw the video for SEVEN WONDERS. I was like "oh my gosh, all of these people are all together. WOW, whats that about. I just thought it was cool. Then Little lies and big love, and I remember thinking, I really love the magic lady, but I really like it when all these other people are with her cause they're really good.
