This then as opposed to now tripe

I thought about creating this thread in the Stevie section, but then thought it applied also to FM and LB. So, here it is:

The critics have made much of FM somewhat stagnant performace on this tour. Granted much has been leveled at Stevie's so called lethargic (their opinion not mine) performace, but LB has taken some of this as well. So, I began to think (YIPES!! - I always cause trouble when I think ).

I think most would agree the Mirage tour was the last time FM toured "in its so called prime" or at least in their "youth" and Stevie last toured in her "youth," prime, or whatever during, at the latest, the RAL tour. What this says to me is SN and LB in FM, SN solo, and LB solo (albeit SN more than LB in all cases), have now been touring past these so called "old days" for longer than the so called good old days lasted and have for the most part produced solid new material for each tour. So, my point is - why do people keep looking back to the so called "good old days" when they obviously solo and with FM have, to paraphrase Stevie, "gone far beyond [those days]."

I guess once you create an image it just sticks.
