Put the man on the road, pro-tools his ass up and let his fans give him the final curtain call he deserves. I'd say if anyone has earned a little vocal "help" over the years, it's Perry! (I'm not talking about another tape-gate, mind you. Maybe just a little nudge here and there from the sound man!
Spot on. I could care less if I hear a 60 year old Perry sing his old stuff. However, I'd like to hear a 60 year old Perry put out something new that would give us one last celebration of the voice. I just wish he could come to terms with whatever it is that keeps him from conducting his craft.
I guarantee you that HE is his own worst critic/enemy. HE keeps himself from doing it...not solely because of privacy or long walks on the beach. I bet his biggest problem is fear. Not that he really wants the old Perry, or that fans do, but fear of the unknown. Moreso than anything, he's probably just lost most of his confidence.

Completely agree. I wish I were more optimistic about new material, but just can't get worked up about it any longer.
Well, I will be waiting, and so will quite a few others. I will not speculate on his state of mind, I do not know the man. I will not speculate who will be on the recordings, nothing has been said. Geez this is going to be so funny when it comes out if your all out in left feild. Let the gentleman do his thing!
