    good article. i like that he can admit he wasn't his best at times. also interesting to hear him talk about the length of the shows. can't imagine what this board would be like if they were only playing 2 hour shows.

    Cool article. It'd be great if they got together this summer, before Fenway/Wrigley, to work on a new album. Mike made it sound like they are excited about getting a new album started sometime soon.

    Mike seems so ridiculously easy going. "yeah, I'd love to do that, I'd love to do this, but that's really (someone else's name) thing".
    new album "Cigarettes" out Fall 2024!

    Great interview. I especially found this part interesting:

    "We're all aware of the 25 years, and we're happy about it. The person that cares about that stuff the most is probably me. Jeff and Stone, maybe not as much. They're kind of always thinking forward. Ed also cares about the legacy and all that. But I feel like we might have covered it in the 20th with the PJ20 shows we did."

    I wouldn't be upset about 2 hour or 2.25 hour shows, but would hope they wouldn't repeat the same number of hits each night to free up space for their big catalog.

    Or play a few more shows each year.

    Perhaps this will put to rest the theory that they're totally absolutely doing west coast dates later this year.
