But there are songs that are played at just about every show that weren't even released as singles. We Got It Going On, Captain Crash and I Love This Town are perfect examples. Casuals don't know these songs but Jon keeps playing them. Lost Highway and Whole Lot of Leaving didn't even chart, so casuals probably don't know these songs either. There's five songs right there that he could exchange for songs die hards would rather hear. The "they've got to play to the casuals" excuse doesn't really fly when unknown songs like these have become staples. Jon could sell the hell out of something more rare just as well as he's sold the hell out of We Got It Going On, but he doesn't bother.
