When I talk about the "40+ house wife" crowd being the main demographic for Ed I am referring to his music becoming softer and more appealing to them, including ones that were not aware of who Live was.

Would you ever think SS or TC era Live would show up on the Ellen show? Hell no. But I bet you a great number of "40+ house wives" heard Heaven and Run Away and went and bought BoP. Now they blindly follow Ed and probably hate CCP because they don't know anything except BoP and everything after.

I hope some bought MJ, TC, SS and either discovered the real Live or shit themselves because it wasn't at all like Heaven. Or both.

The funny part that I see here is that the 40+ house wives crowd are the ones that would have been the original Live fans. They've grown up, and likely have softer tastes than when they were in high school / college, knew eveything about everything, and loved 90's alt-rock. IMHO, I highly doubt Ed has picked up much of a following from anything done beyond TDTH. Same for CCP.

I dont care who follows them. And I wish them Kudos to all the guys for doing what they want and giving us music to enjoy.

For the record, I'm in my late 30's. I dont give a flip who is at show I attend, other than who is on stage. That doesnt mean that I dont feel a little out of place when I'm the old guy at a show surrounded by a bunch of punk 'kids' though. Circle of life.
