Maybe that makes me weak-minded in the eyes of some but I think what's truly weak-minded is a person being a whiny baby because they don't like what's happening in a band of musicians that they've never met, and having to call people ugly name$ becau$e of it.

Not you, but others.

Yeah, I stay out of that stuff. I am Just an opinionated fan who’s frustrated with the band.

If Mick is going to tout the new lineup as relevant and if some stubborn and/or delusional fans are going to defend the new lineup, then the actual band as it exists right now needs to DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT--ie: new music, a new approach to well-worn material. The new blood need to make their mark, and the veterans need to step up their game. Stretch, expand, grow. All of that comes with "new lineup"/ "new" band.

That ain't happening here.

The emperor's new clothes reveal just how lame and bloated the emperor actually is.

Or something like that.

exactly. Ellen show performance exposed this. and no amount of yelling "double standard!!" will change that.

if you still don't acknowledge this, after the blandest possible performance of those two Rumours 5 classic songs that were so obviously specifically chosen because they have Lindsey stamp all over them, then either you are blind or you don't want to see it.
