[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 1987247168"] I wrote the post you responded to, and I do actually share your wishes that 2020 is a big success and the album is great ('Bobby' is v promising). But I think you're being a bit delusional if you think everything can return to normal for him. He's said and done so many stupid, unpleasant things in the last two years that a huge chunk of his fan-base has been alienated. The sales for California Son and the last (cancelled) UK tour were unprecedentedly bad, and his name/brand continues to be heavily tarnished. We've already, in 2020, seen the exposure afforded to one little record shop that says they won't stock the new album so it seems like this is the new 'normal'. The idea that the large number of alienated fans will just return seems pure fantasy. If he issues a clear and unambiguous statement retracting his support for the ugly groups/politicians he has endorsed in the last two years, there's a chance they will (and yes that is in his hands). But that's not looking likely. [/QUOTE]
