I love our fans. They know it. I may be a bit short with phonies that measure a show by amount of songs or length of time which is bullshit. But your thing is legit. You had it your way for 40 years. Enjoy your memories my friend! It’s something different now. Most folks like it.
Replying to @StevieVanZandt
Steve I get the majority of the crowd are casual fans and want to hear the hits and don’t mind a static setlist but it’s a killer for many of the diehards who crave the deeper cuts and variation. Please don’t curse me out!

Artists: Never stay in your own lane. Change styles if you like; switch mediums, materials, whatever. There’s no need for consistency. When people tell you to stay in your lane, they’re trying to hold you back or keep you down. Do whatever you want to do and you do it well.

Raskin to Boebert: Democrat is the noun. When you use it as an adjective, you say Democratic.. As if every time we mentioned the other party it just came out with a kind of political speech impediment like, oh, the Banana Republican Party.
