There is a war going on in one thread about an upcoming 30 minute webcast? Why the argument? Its free content they don't have to give you. Don't be so sensitive that Richie won't be there. If for that reason you don't want to watch...don't. Me, if Im at home, I'll check out the free content they don't have to give me.

Then there is the debate about Richie. Let me just give you my perspective. I was at the first show without Richie in Atlanta in 2011. When Richie going to rehab was announced, I was so scared they would cancel. If they did I would have lost a lot of money invested in hotels and travel. Not to mention, my family would have missed out on the experience. I was so thankful that Jon was resourceful enough to be able to give me a great experience that was worth my money. Was a little something missing? Sure. Did I get a great show? Absolutely. Again, just my 2 cents.

Sure we can debate the direction of the band and whats missing and all the things that made us love BJ in the first place. But it just seems some on this board were never fans to begin with. If thats the case, why do you post?

There's my question....call me a kool-aid drinker or whatever and feel free to blast away.
