i think that's a huge part of it, yes.

also, he does love Stevie and all they've shared / how far they've travelled since their start in high school and whoever said the whole cycles remark (that Lindsey keeps repeating also), i think is very on the point. i think (besides the college fund for his kids

and the thrill of performing for huge adoring crowds), wanting to some full circle and create with SN again is a big part of his wanting to still come back to FM from time to time.

He's been open for collaboration with Mitchell Froom, So he's in a state of being where anythings possible. The fact that he wrote and recorded those songs with FM, and Stevie in mind, is a break with the years of writing for solowork and bend it into FM. He's going to make a big load of money during this tour, and- as we all know by now, he's partially going to use that for the production of new music. Solo, or with the dramaqueens.

and i hope that new music comes out sooner (this year!) rather than later.

actually Sound City Players appearance on Letterman yesterday got me thinking of something else - if FM releases some new music before they start a tour, they may get an appareance on Letterman or similar to promote both new music and the tour, which they wouldn't get if they only tour as an oldies / greatest hits band or from repackaging old music. they would not only be selling areans as similar dinasaur bands do, but actually look relevant in the process too.
