-----

Over the course of six posts I will comment on what I opine to be a favorable and appropriate way to finalize what may indeed be the final chapter of our favorite band. Having taken 8+ years to get out the new (and still untitled) album I do not see another one in the future, especially if Dusty and Frank receive as little writing credit as they did on "Mescalero" (which indicates they are losing interest in making music). It is likely that Billy will continue on, but one can argue with significant evidence that the band itself is winding down. It is my hope that they release the new album, it sells well, the band tours throughout the US, Europe and the UK, they return to playing real live "honest" songs, and they finish up receiving the notoriety and recognition they deserve.
