Umm, okay. Now some pity Jon because he looks in pain *maybe bc he is, it can't be just neck stretching* but he doesn't do it for money per se, he's loaded beyond our imagination. It's the guy's HUGE ego, so maybe the fans who pay through the nose actually deserve the braying every night *shrugs* Those who say he's improved any bit are clearly no better than his blind cult following. He hasn't improved at all, it hurts your ear and makes your soul bleed. Heard some snippets and wish I hadn't. Just stop already.

BB was a contractual obligation, I don't know if it's worth using it as a slight against the band.
I think I half agree? I think the band itself genuinely enjoys touring but I realize how saccharine that sounds. I don't think it's for a paycheck at this point, you don't do a run of 15 shows and then stop for the rest of the year. If it were ego it'd be a full year or April, bit of a break, and a summer outdoor run. How does ego fit into this? Dude knows he sounds like shit and knows others will too.
