New message from Jon

That's good he's okay. Those dancing shoes have a lot of "bounce" left in them, yet.

Didn't say you did. No one has. He's been demonized.

This paragraph is a perfect example of the conclusions you jump to. Where do I name Seb or Thierry as your Gods? Where do I fault them? It's a collective effort....as goes with any mob.

That's a somewhat lengthy paragraph as another way of saying you missed the point of testimonials from those who actually deal with the man show no evidence of the fan fiction version. Contrast this with Gene Simmons, who the fans here have seemed to confuse Jon for. You'll find plenty of first person testimonies to his arrogance by journalists and musicians who have dealt with him.

Because I have seen no evidence. All I saw in the documentary was a stressed out man with more responsibility than you can even comprehend. You aren't helping your case here citing it. He spends his time locked away from the world in hotel rooms staying on top of the business instead of sight seeing with all that money. Money and fame do not equal better quality of life. Young and poor quickly scoff at that, but why do lottery winners coming from poverty echo the exact same sentiment?

The problem with your last two paragraphs is they offer no supporting evidence for any of your conclusions so are quite wasteful of the space used. So you've come up with a term to describe his personality type. That's cute. Where do you get your evidence that he is cynical and arrogant toward people he finds inferior? Where is the evidence that he sees the world in superiority/inferiority? Where is the evidence that he has no interest in pleasing others? I can get behind it more when the evidence is presented.

Jon interview about his inury:

How ironic that the When We Were Beautiful DVD begins and ends with Jon having his legs stretched, LOL!

I think it is not as much ironic as it may seem to us. It only shows that his calf injury is not the first injury he has had. From what I know Jon has some knee problems due to wear and tear. This is what unfortunetly happens to all those who are extremely physically active - I mean all sportsmen, both professional and amateurs have much more injuries than the rest of the population. Nothing strange if you use your muscles and joints some ten times more intensively than a person who is not excessively active.

You know, for the past four years I have been participating in swimming events for the amateurs. And whenever I enter the cloackroom I can see people massaging their calfs and thighs, rubbing in ben-gay or any othe anti-inflammatory ointments etc etc. Sometimes I have a feeling that I am in Old People's house

I'm not a blind follower of anyone or anything, but I really don't see any big conspiracy in that tweet. Calling out Glad is an indication that there were indeed a few more songs planned, at least by Jon since that is what has happened in the past when he starts calling out songs in an encore. Don't see any reason not to believe him here.
As for the "oh he's using his injury" I just don't get where that comes from.
There are people here who are just as far the other way about Jon as you accuse me of being here, you being one of them quite often. No matter what Jon says or does some of you put some ill motive or bad intent or self serving theory behind it. I just think some things are just what they are. He tweeted to say what happened, that he's gonna be ok and that the shows will go on period.

oh man - you gotta love jbj - this interview is hilarious -

interesting note for brian - he says the saratoga shows were basically a way to get the trucks from one stadium to another...nothing like picking up some extra cash and making some people happy who wouldnt normally get to see them -

also an actual honest answer to an interesting question about venue choice...

Judging from the vids on youtube, the atmosphere at those shows seem like a breath of fresh air, they should do these smaller outdoor sheds more often, een though judging from the setlists the band sees them as more or less of an afterthought......

He says that they make a BIG point of changing the setlist dramatically. hehehe

I'm listening to the intro of the interview and...this is such a naive thing to say, but I never realized how much the singles sounded like each other.
