Yep, the best we can hope for is a new album. But still I wonder if even that is feasible with all five of them living on different places. I have a feeling making
a new album is an insurmountable endeavour for them. Like climbing Mount Everest I guess. Takes hundred of oxygen tanks to make it...

My modest (even miserable) opinion is that Keith can no longer - or no longer want to compose. Mick yes, and prolifically ... Living In A Ghost Town is a 90% Mick song ...

What are you basing your opinion on?
It's easy to have an opinion, but to obtain knowledge - not so easy.
Are you saying that Jordan wrote Crosseyed Heart? Just so I understand where you're coming from
CH was a double album, with 3 or 4 songs from 2002 + 2 covers.
It's way more likely, imo, that the problem has to do with HOW they write their songs - the working methods.

2020 is the year of opinion.
No facts required.
So far there's only one new song and it sounds like Keith is still into composing.
I've got popcorn for the massive death numbers that will happen in the US later this year. It's possible the virus will die itself out.

The derisory way he was underused last time he played with them was one of the most wasted opportunities of their entire career

One more album and three nights at Royal Albert Hall in 2021. That's the end of the line and the rolling stops, IMO.

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again — The boys should have let Mick T play Midnight Rambler onwards and stay on stage till the end of the show for the 2012-14 tours. That would have made the “50 and Counting” years even more memorable and celebratory. A missed opportunity indeed.Quote

I remember someone “leaked” here next year’s Royal Albert Hall 150 years anniversary will have them on the lineup...

I live in the US and they need to be bashed,b!tchslapped and stoned (not Rolling). Europe has done a much better job and fewer people are sick and dying. As long as people are getting sick and dying the odds of a US tour are as likely as a N. Korea tour.
The numbers don't show that. Specifically deaths per million. And survival rates in the US are also better.
But more to the point I object to the cheap cynicism and self-flagellation that even seeps into rock and roll boards. We've gone from hating Trump to hating ourselves.

How about the possibility of concerts behind closed doors like sport and then filmed... plus a finish date for new album?

At their age, for safety's sake:
They CANT tour - and -
They WONT record
They're finished as a creative entity.
Call my a cynic. My favourite band is done, apart from the legacy reissues/vault concert series.
Nothing new, no touring. Done.
