Yes, we've had this discussion before; and I'm sorry, Captain, but that dog still don't hunt. If it had been the first time they tried something like that, and then stopped it when he saw the result, I might buy it. But I'm pretty sure that Jon was at the same shows you were, plus a few; so he would have been fully aware of when people took beer/bathroom breaks,
and that they were going to be singing a lot of songs from an unreleased album,
before he told Richie he could sing songs from AOTL and continue promoting his album on the BWC tour. Not to mention the fact, also previously discussed, that lulls in the show or people taking breaks has never stopped Jon from doing any song that
he wanted to do.

Not to beat a dead horse, but by the same token, it seems like people have been offended BY him for over 6 years now without really knowing why
his decision was made either, or if it was right or wrong... but there seems to be very little concern about that.
