Doesn't get any simpler. Just caught wind of this and feel the need to rage against the notion. I hope Mr. Taylor and crew read this.... Moving forward without Ed is a bad, bad, bad, BAD idea. I don't care if the music you make without him is 23676x better than anything before -- it's not Live. It's some other band pretending to be Live. Such endeavors are embarrassing and insulting to a long-time fan, and REEK of COMMERCIAL concerns. Get over yourself. Don't accuse us of dwelling on the past -- it's an easy thing for you to spout in defense of YOUR ill-advised idea, but is really meaningless. Don't hijack the brand just because there's more of you than him, make something new. At least you'd gain respect from this fan....
