After today, I'm even more convinced... Options

...that Chris Shinn is no longer in Live. I check Live's Facebook page daily to see what Ed reunion hints they are dropping. A while back Pat's birthday was announced and then recently Gracey's. So out of curiosity, I looked up to see when Shinn's birthday is. Lo and behold, it is today, August 1. I've been waiting to see if there would be a post wishing him a happy birthday. It's getting pretty late in the day and...nada.

Yes, before anyone brings up the point that Ed also had a birthday in July and it wasn't recognized on LIVE's FB, true. But that would be a little too obvious now, wouldn't it?

With that said, how many more hints are going to be dropped?! I'm getting too impatient and bored waiting. What are we waiting on? Their group counseling to finish, or what? *tapping fingers*

I like to think myself impartial, and a lot of this speculation does seem delusional - but they have been really quiet for a while now, and it's weird.

It amazed that, IMHO, 17 years after their last good album, all of us here check this site almost daily. I still do. I don't think any of us have ever been ready to say goodbye to Live. All of us who still check this board, I think, still believe the magic can come back - some how, some way.

If I truly thought it was dead, I'd never come back. But I'm still here. I have to admit that part of me still thinks they're going to produce music that will resonate as deeply with me as their first four albums. Maybe I'm the delusional one.

On a somewhat related note, I'm listening to The Turn all the way through again - and it's a damn good album.
