my two cents, and i think my involvement in Raspberries stuff over the years is credible, but......
i think it would be highly unlikely a 40 date tour would be:
a.) bookable AND bankable from a promoters standpoint-remember a few years ago when it seemed like something would happen? i just don't think they have the hit-making nostalgia or "Behind the Music' cache to interest the great unwashed.....
b.) i wonder if the boys have the stamina and ego protection to make it thru
I could MAYBE see them doing a handful of dates in larger cities around the country, but, honestly, i wonder if they have the kind of draw that Cleveland could give them, say, here in Boston, or in Denver perhaps? If it is not viable to promote and make a profit, no one will touch it.....
cynical maybe, but that's why they call it the music BUSINESS!!!!!!!
