For as long as they've been playing, they should be able to play a 90 minute set by just showing up at the same place at the same time. There's just too much BS in Mac-ville anymore. Their next project should probably be their "Farewell". They're quickly becoming a parody of themselve.

Stevie Nicks has been a parody of herself since 1981. Doesn't mean she's not glorious.

And as long as they want to play, and people want to hear them, why shouldn't they play? And if they want to rehearse and take it seriously--if they're still that concerned with getting it right and not just drifting through the motions--isn't that impressive?
Don't get me wrong: I think two weeks rehearse for the Clinton show would be absurd. But I don't see how it proves that FM's time is over.
