Stevie's fans, however, are the same group of people forking out money each time for the same gift basket over and over and over. as much as I love dark chocolate, you can bet your ass I'd switch to savory treats after a couple months.

did any of that make sense?

It did and I agree to a point. But, her concerts are still selling fairly well (some very well) - which I think is why the shows are half or so hits and the other songs never really seem to change for decades despite my wanting it to. In other words, playing the sheds appeals to many people and they are not all the same concert goers you assert, at least in the larger markets.
