I'm just kinda amazed they're building it now. In just 10 years Jordan will be 72. I don't want to be Debbie Downer but I would be amazed if JR is still playing in the band in 10 years.
A studio is for life... you rent it, you have a place you already own to be a producer when the touring days will be over... yes, they should have built it sooner but it's not a bad investement, once they recover the costs of building it it's nothing but money saved (not renting another studio anymore) or gained (renting it).
At least I guess, it's not that it's my field of expertise...
