Isn't it funny how just under three years between albums was considered such a LONG wait. Sigh, how times change.

I was waiting for someone to bring up this subject. I can explain this in 2 ways. First off, most of us were in our teens or 20's when Rumours was a smash. At that age even one hour feels like an eternity.

Secondly, when you have brilliant songs like that of Rumours that are still fresh in your mind, you cannot wait to hear what the band will come up with next.
