That is going to affect the tour schedule more than anything in my humble opinion.

It's not like he plays the one in Vegas all the time why would Biloxi be any different? He doesn't show up regularly at the hotel in Pensacola either. I'm not sure the impact will be that great.
if thats the case ,He's going to become like Wayne Newton...or Celina!!!

That's actually a really good idea. :D

Bite your tongue! That's the same as saying it will become Jimmy's "Branson" if it bears any resemblance to Branson I can promise I'll never visit! My 84 year old MOTHER isn't even interested in Branson!

could.....but , he does change things up once in a while...wondering if he would add a Ralph Song in the set....and maybe some added video....like they did in Boston with the Bruins....still , i don't think it changes the concept of the WTF tour.

I wonder when Alpine Valley became a city?
Did you hear the one about me being a punk?
Did you hear the one about me being a drunk?
Did you hear the one about me losing my nerve?
Or how I'm just another f**** sheep in the herd?
Did you hear the one about me giving a s***?
Cause if I ever did I don't remember it.

Why would you be concerned? There haven't been any dates for the "new" tour announced yet?
I'm sure they'll get to it. Margarillas on FB said they'll be ready soon to announce.

According to the Mayans this is Jimmy's last tour. :wink:
When that Mayan theory is proven wrong he can just do "The Year of Still Here Tour - Part Deux" in 2013. :D
