IMO buying a HC deluxe edition and supporting the current lineup are two separate issues. When you buy it, as far as I know some of the money goes to the guys who are on the album and not people who aren't - like Vince Gill. And those who are on the album deserve to get paid for their great work - even though some of them are doing something you may not like at the moment. I don't like what they're doing now, but it wouldn't stop me from buying it if I cared for it. So go for it, Austin! I do understand, however, that your main point was that before this you wouldn't have hesitated at all.
