People with medieval mindsets. How do enlightened people tackle it? & even then, lots of people claiming enlightenment are just scoundrels, liars, self serving cretins. What a world, eh? We've created an absolute mess.

Wouldn't have been the biggest fan but like a fair few of his albums & songs. Seminal figure no doubt, big legacy. & yea that Blackstar vid was neat, taking on extra poignancy now..

Actually, Let's Dance came on the radio in the car last night & I got pissed off! I said something like, I hate that fucking song & I'd be happy never to hear it ever again!
I fucking hate that song..

Don't forget they're also bound by a period of exclusivity w/Coachella (tho maybe that's limited to a regional thing?).
But even still, once that passes I think what you'll get is one of those typical press releases on Nightrain or the website, rather than a promo blitz where they're filling in the gaps in the story for those of us interested in such things.

It's just the impression I get off it. The vibe I feel is that Axl expects at this stage for promo to be handled by the promoters/label rather than the artist, y'know?

& just to echo what I said earlier, I think they way they've built it so far has been well done - without having actually done very much!
The excitement & fun has been building nicely instead of one small cumshot on a 3rd rate week night chat show, y'know??
