The answer in my case, is no. That's not to say that you should be like me, or me like any of you. I merely think you have to realise it's the music we love, not the artist, and that's a big difference. I get a bit worried when fans start to say they love the artist and listen to what they have to say. Then they start to expect too much and get disillusioned. Talking about the new album is fun because we haven't seen one for the last seven years, and I didn't think she was capable of producing one more album of original material. It's a big event. After she releases it I hope she just disappears for 7 years until she is capable of producing another one. I have to say I get sick of the charity functions and the repackaged old material. I really just don't want to see her unless she is doing something worthwhile artistically.
I have enjoyed your snippets of information because it's the latest gossip about a new album, which doesn't come around very often. Unfortunately there isn't much fans can do in the off times except talk about other artists, but for a short while we have a chance to talk about some new stuff. She is actually doing something creatively for once, and that is a rare event.
I really hope she does a solo tour, but maybe she is not capable of doing a solo tour any more, and that is why the Lilith thing. I thought Lilith was just to keep her in the public eye because she did not have any new material, but I was wrong. Maybe Lilith is to promote the new album because she is not capable, or does not want to do a solo tour. When it comes to McLachlan I am delighted to be wrong. But I expect nothing from her from now on. If she isn't producing new stuff then I just don't care about her or want to hear about her, it's on to other artists until she can get her act together. One of the great things about McLachlan fans is their great eclectic broad taste. This board like the last one, is fun, and has people who are intelligent and have a broad taste in music. I like the fans better than the artist.
You touched on something that I was thinking about though. Maybe we are reading things into what the new album will be like because of what has happened in her life. I have been like a newshound journalist looking for an angle. It has occurred to me that maybe all my conjecture and everyone else's will be completely wrong. It doesn't matter that much because we only get this chance once every 7 or 8 years, maybe this is the last time, who knows? But it's fun.
I'm an opinionated old tosser and proud of it.
