Enjoy.

I think Neil is a straight shooter but he really needs to just admit that they will tour.  He's got retirement to think about and it's not as if album sales are going to fill the coffers.  Granted, the three of them made tons of cash on these last two tours and his stake in Anthem (and income from endorsements and various other royalties) alone probably gets him done for the rest of his life but still.  They are only going to be able to pull this level of performance off for another five years at best.  My current prediction is they will tour at least once more and probably release another DVD to boot.
What say yous?

Thanks for the post. A book I need to get by all means! And per your response to Gedhead, well, I certainly hope so!
