As the third part of my new "What if?" series, this one deals one of the most difficult periods in the band's history. As we all know, the extensive tour for Tiny Music was cancelled by Robert and Dean's request and then publicly blamed Scott's addictions for it, and also ordered him to pay the cost of the cancellations. Scott has always insisted that he could have done the dates with a sobriety coach on board, and that the cancellations were only screwing the fans over, and thought it was unfair for him to pay for the cancellations. Anyways, what would have happened if Scott had had his way and the touring period for Tiny Music had not been just the tiny smattering of dates of late '96 and early '97? Would this have had any affect on whether 12 Bar Blues and Talk Show had occurred?
