Touring with Petty? That was awesome. Sing with Petty and Vedder? I'd sick a mooses duck to have been there.

I'll give you Vegas, but it'd be less of a sell-out if she did anything new and innovative, but as I said earlier, she doesn't have the guts to do so. I wish she was more like Lindsey in that regard for sure. Henley...well, he contacted her about it. She thought it'd be fun. No biggie. The Superbowl performance was more for promo, and they specifically mentioned her touring with Chris Isaak this summer. Besides, it's the freakin' Superbowl, who can say no? Lindsey couldn't say no to the president either.

But right now, IMO, he's laid his soul on the table again in the form of UTS, he's pushing himself musically and he's still passionate about his work/performing. Everything else aside...that's a true artist.

Exactly.
And it's only backed up by his willingness to do another FM album before they go out, because he doesn't want to become a nostalgia act.
