I think there will always be a next album. Although live shows are mostly older songs, Jon (despite what anyone tihnks of him) won't go on with the band if they just become a nostaligia act, as he has said before. And the fact is, where the record sales don't nearly match those of Slippery or New Jersey, they are still large enough to always make it worth doing. I mean, Bounce was considered a dissapointment with worldwide sales of 3-4 million. But let's face it, record sales for MOST artists aren't what they at one time were.
I one time just because I was bored, took a copy of the 50 selling CD's a few years back, and looked at the artists. Alot of what sells records today is the demographic that still spends money on them. Let me just say this - At times I wish I were 16 again so I had the money to spend on every CD I wanted, as opposed to rent, car payments, and clothes for kids.
