Re: Not happy about the canceled West Coast Dates!

"Wonder why" a show was canceled; fair enough. I wonder, too. "Owed an explanation?" No, I don't believe we're "owed"... Maybe if tickets had gone on sale, but they didn't. A hard new lesson - don't shell out money for plane fare until tickets are on sale - and a bitte...

I went away for 3 days and thought this thread would disappear. I CANNOT believe it is still in full force. I, for one, could care less which venues he plays. I will go to whichever ones I like. There is only one show per year within a 40 minute drive from my house. EVERY other venue requires airfa...

Re: Memorial Day: Honoring members of the American armed forces

So then what is Veteran's Day about? For far too many people both holidays are all about another day off from work or a 3 day weekend and many businesses having furniture or car sales or perhaps picnics and cookouts. Not many remember or even know anymore about these holidays. Veteran's Day History...

Re: Not happy about the canceled West Coast Dates!

So how many people actually loet money on these canceled shows? How much did they actually lose? Jimmy is going overseas to a venue that reportedly sits 2,000? Isn't that what someone said about the concert in the UK on 05 July? Is that just JB or include the whole band? Those are going to be really...

Re: Talk about family traditions

If it were to be legalized, how does one decide who can smoke it? If someone is involved in any sort of accident for any reason, rest assured they will be at fault simply because of the THC in their system. I have not heard of anyone saying that there is an a recognized ammount that indicates the pe...

I am on the no call list and I have gotten them. I admit it has been a while.

How many goverment agencies and beauracracies actaually save the taxpayer money? The answer of throwing more money at the agency/beauracracy does not work.
