I don't see them stopping this tour short. Maybe this will be the last tour, but I even doubt that. How could they resist a farewell tour.

I personally would have worded that stronger, but then you have the potential to create problems on the ground there, political and otherwise. Delete "wishing to depart" and the statement is better.

I know saying anything that absolves Biden or Trump of responsibility will be met with resistance here, but I was just reading that the State Department has been telling Americans to get out of Afghanistan since April.

Just like vaccines and just like the Afghan army, you can't make people do things if they really don't want to. People weren't leaving like they were advised. People don't take vaccines as advised. The Afghan army doesn't fight like it was advised.

Individuals do actually make decisions for themselves that create ripple effects.

Yes, I'll add the caveat before someone else does, the exit has been fucked up. That's clear and we've covered that. But it's a combination of many things, and Americans not leaving as advised is a small part of it.

If you go in with guns blazing like you suggest, there would be nothing stopping the Taliban from killing a bunch of Americans still there. They kind of hold the cards right now with no boots on the ground.

I’ll never listen to it again willingly and i’m a fan. I’d be surprised if casuals get through one full listen. It’s horrid.

Any word on the last couple of set lists? They’ve got a show tonight too.
