"Nobody made you go around wearing UFO pants and sucking a pacifier after you got smart enough to drop those duds. But despite the pop star high life, musicians don't have the luxury to abandon ship. Fans don't care if a star is misunderstood, or past that particular phase. The audience pays, so the musician plays. Here's how some handled it." - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet

Watching the webcast of the U2 show the other night, I can see where these artists are coming from. Some of the older songs that U2 played don't carry the same relevance for me (or for them--and it showed) as they did 20 or 25 years ago. We may like the old songs, but at some point it's just time to move on. - vicster
