    I think you are missing the point here.
    I dont see anywhere where you can assume that they dont enjoy what they do anymore.
    You can tell how much they enjoy making music together by listening to the last album and you can tell how much they enjoy playing live when you see them on the stage for 2 1/2 hours each time.

    But its understandable at least I think.
    They are men with families, Ed has a little girl, Stone and Mike about to or already have brand new babies, and Matt has a wife and kids too.... I dont know if you have any kids but imagine how hard it would be to be traveling and sometimes be away from your kids or have them with you but have no time to spend with them...

    I drove around from show to show to show on 1996 and when I finally got back to Florida I was exhausted (and I wasnt performing every night)...
    After the extensive tour they had last year they must be really tired ...
    Last year I went to 4 shows and I would have loved to see them here in FL but I guess next tour will be our time :)

    I dont know why everyone gets so offended thinking PJ sees PJ as a business, it is a business, people thinking of their business as such doesnt mean they are not passionate about it (this goes for any profession), this is their job and what a damn great job they have!!

    Urs,

    and thats why I want them to be fully rested when they do come to the South. Saw them in Bern....and Eddie looked really tired....and justifiably so. I'm same age as the band..and know last few years my energy has changed...sure its the same for them. BUT...I can also say....they sound great...and they're good.....they have it down. SOOOOO I think everyone needs to chill the fk out...keep hoping..and sending positive vibes. And yes...if you have the chance to see them...where ever...do it if at all possible. As far as them having fun when they play.....there's sooo much positive feedback from every crowd...I can't see them not getting a boost for it. Reason...pro sports people don't want to retire...or come out of retirement...is they miss this energy...

    Play in the SOuth fellas...we'll make you feel great....

    Peace

    I am sitting here thinking that we are going off of the words of one man.Lets just chill somemore and see.I know the waiting sucks but lets see if we get some shows or a reason why we did not get any shows and not hang on the words of JTR.If you remember he said that we were getting shows about a month ago and everyone freaked out like it was going to happen.


    Didn't your source say no shows first? I took that as hard and fast. We will have to (obviously) wait until they tour again... but what (I think) we are wanting more (at this point) is a word. Any word.

    Maybe JTR is legit and released by the band to get (secret) word to us? At least I'm hoping (in my starry eyed moments)... no real harm is really being done by "sources". The situation has already been created by the band (and management) and none of our info sources are going to change the reality - Just how much we squawk on this thread - our level of pissed-ness.

    I'll be here...for however long it takes. The only thing that will stop me is if we hear (from the band) that they are indeed skipping us again.

    I suspect that a new album in 2008 is a pipe dream.....much less a full blown tour in 2008. I would be willing to bet that in 2009 (or 2010) we will have to petition again for dates. Something tells me that they will never be back.

    yes, i like it!

    if this thread goes byebye, we definitely need another one to transition to, as it would be a little too cold turkey for me to just have it disappear one day.

    And it will be on this tour that they will again acknowledge the existance of the greatest record ever made.

    You know some might think that this is pessimistic but I really think this is the situation that we're going to be looking at. Looks like we'll just have to try and find our way to the various benefit shows that pop up a couple of times a year during the off-years. It's really a shame.

    On this band........yes, I am. I suspected that we were going to get the shaft this time around.....and I expect the next time around too. Someone or somebodies in this band and its organization has an axe to grind with the South. I hate to go all conspiracy theory on y'all, but it is starting to add up. You don't just piss on a large section of the country and walk away like nothing happened unless you are hiding something that doesn't hit your public image.
