You know, I "threatened" it for years on this board. Not sure if the final straw was Richie leaving, Jon's shit voice, or the set lists, but I saw them just once on this tour, and that's enough for me.

I think a really big part of it for me is Jon's refusal to play some of the songs that are clearly better than what is being played. "I'm With You" has got to be one of the easiest songs vocally to sing, and every message board I've seen votes it as the best song on the record, yet he won't play it. He continues to play "Always", which no doubt, we love, but he simply can't sing any more. "This Ain't A Love Song" would be so much easier, and such a nice change of pace.

It's just funny how for years, Jon has always been so against becoming a novelty act and takes the band so seriously, and now, it's become JUST a novelty act and a joke.
