If you seriously believe that they are going to go into the studio in
January and hit the road in February to promote the album that they just
recorded I know of some prime real estate up near the Grand Canyon that
you may be interested in.  That's just too little time to go from studio
to record store shelves.  Since their albums have been fairly erratic
over the last several years, I sincerely hope that they don't just "bang
out another ...  album".  On their last tour (1981), they concentrated,
as much as possible, on outdoor stadium sites.  It's doubtful that a
tour, if any, would start before summer.  Sure hope there's a tour,
though.  After the Jackson's "Victory Tour", it would be refreshing to
see a tour where the performance equalled or exceeded the hype.  (It
would also be nice if the tickets cost somewhat less than $30.)
