The new thread title makes sense. Good for now and for all time. The question mark reflects the situation -- perpetually up in the air. Even if they do release a new original album, the thread title will still apply. Because fans will speculate on a possible follow-up. And so on, and so on...

Interesting idea. Makes me think that someday I can see the 1981 Tattoo You tour that I missed back in the day. Imagine if the Stones decided to capitalize on this. They could have their 1969 selves opening for their 2019 selves. For the first time, there would be an opening act fans like better. I wonder if this idea deserves a thread of its own...

The final song to be recorded for Abbey Road was John Lennon's Because. The song was inspired by Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata and featured The Beatles' distinctive three-part vocal harmonies.
