The thing i hate the most about TBT is the idea of fabricating a hit for radio.This goes so much againts what is the spirit of being a rock band.I suppose Beautiful day and Vertigo are hugely responsable for the band mindset about this.
Individually speaking,they are 56-57 years old, As a band as a whole, they are 40 years old.If the band is fighting againts not being viewed like the Rolling Stone,then they are loosing this battle in the eyes of the average Joe music fans.
They need to embrace their back catalogues and hall of fame history and enjoying being a jukebox every 4 years,just like the Stones. If not,then announce and do a fairwell tour.
