I saw BB at....BB Kings

Good show back in 85, guy sweat but he sat in a chair lol. He didn't play one chord all night, I started asking my friend I wonder if he knows chords, lol he Said yeah, of course he does.

I would agree revamping old material is about money in some ways. Its hard to say if making new songs that stink, are superior to old songs redone is preferable. I heard Elton John say he thought Billy Joel should make more albums, to which Billy Jokingly said yeah? I think he should make less! He has also said when he hears new albums from these old timers, he doesn't know why they don't stop making records .

Springsteen doesn't repackage old stuff but you know what he does do? He turns everything he does into movies. Makes a new album? Ok video tape it, and then sell that too...

He used to make an album simply to go on tour , right now no tours.

I don't know, maybe its a bit like an aging QB... Tom Brady for example. The guy has 6 Superbowl rings, 9 times there , automatic hall of famer, yet he decides to sign new contract, new team, walk away from new England ....question is why?

Is it more money, doubtful, I guess he just loves to play football.

Maybe Clapton and I know Springsteen loves to perform, hes not gonna stop. He said they will keep going until they physically can't.

Remember too these guys have millions of fans who want to see something from them, maybe Claptons best way is to repackage old stuff. Many only care about the old stuff anyway. It aint being acoustically redone to impress the college kids...
