I've been asking myself this question A LOT in the past couple days, Becky. LOL Funny you should bring it up. What the heck keeps me enthralled with this band? Why do I spend so much time, effort, money and stress over this band? Truthfully, I can't come up with a clear, concise answer... I hold to the line in 'Last Man Standing.'

"I don't know where it's going but we all know where it's been..."

There are alot of things about them that, in my mind, aren't as good as they used to be but I'm still hooked. I don't think I'll ever love anyone's voice as much as I love Jon's. It hooked me 11 years ago and hasn't let go... And yet, something is missing, for me, within his solo albums so it's not all about Jon's voice.

Does it ever feel like too much hassle? DEFINITELY! LOL I've been feeling it ever since tour dates were announced but something always brings me back... and I'm in love with that flippin' band all over again. LOL A lot of it does have to do with the comradery between the fans and between the band...
