I agree it's very difficult to comprehend.
On the "Hair of the Dog Tour" Meat called the Neverland Express "the greatest rock n' roll band in the world" and I guess as fans we'd all buy in to that.
In the past Meat's been quoted as saying:
"This wonderful woman is absolutely unbelievable"
and
"I just wouldn't be able to do it without her"
Yet there is still no official acknowledgement that Patti has left and no "thank you" for all she's done to make the man and his music such a success since 1993. I personally find that surprising.
Equally we may guess the NE line-up but we still don't know it for a fact.
Now don't misunderstand me, when the tour comes I'll be there with tickets for as many shows as I can get to and willing everyone on to do well and just as enthusiastic as ever to see the show.
I wouldn't want anyone to deride Aspen Miller (assuming she really is the person who succeeds Patti), I'm sure she will be a first rate singer given her WWRY background. But ... I do have something of a problem with the age difference and thus the stage credibility of some potential duets but we'll see how that pans out.
Would she really do "that" with a 59 year old "sex god"? It may be acting but does it look credible? I'm not sure.
So to reflect ... at some stage can someone officially please give Patti some recognition for her amazing performances for 13 years? Or is that too much to ask for the greatest female singer Meat has had in his band?
See you on tour!
Mike
