Yes, but while you're able to be 'curious' the argument eventally dips into the territory of those who really aren't that curious about the machine, but only want to demand a personal explanation and apology for why the band didn't play their town. And, they're willing to invest a lot of time and energy into formulating and devisingplans that would allow them to do shows everywhere! Curiosity is natural. But let's just not pretend that everyone is generally curious.

Conversations down the pub with you must be a barrel of fun.... 'No, we can't talk about that'....

So what if they devise plans?? Its a common pasttime for ppl with too much time on their hands.... It doesn't hurt anyone.

My friends from Israel travel everytime Jovi is around in Europe from Israel to Europe. It cost them a lot of money, time and vacation days but hey they don't complain. As jovi isn't coming to them they come to jovi.

Sure they want a concert closer by but some things never happen. We have to live with that. And just accept that jovi only tours in countries they make much money. Cause I am sorry to say but the ticketprices in europe and the USA are riddiclious high. Guess they would be much cheaper in India, South Africa, Brasil and so on.

Maybe that's a reason!

I have to agree. It is a lot easier to get around the US then it is to fly from say India to Germany.

It would only be fair in 2005 to tour some of the countries they missed this time around. They deserve to see BJ live too.
By then, it will be 10 years since the band played at all in many places. In Australia, the same amount of time since a full tour but we've been lucky to an extent to receive SOMETHING since. 10 years by then will be just under half the band's time in existence. That's a long time.
Bearing in mind that almost half of those 10 years was a hiatus though

Keep On Rockin'

There's a certain German 'lady' on this site who feels the need to attack me personally. If it makes you feel better about yourself, I'm all for it. You clearly need whatever happiness that life can afford you. If I can be of help, you're welcome.

As for what you can and can't talk about - if you don't like what I post, just say so or disagree but don't reduce it to me not 'letting' people talk about something. I call it like I see it. If you don't like opposing viewpoints, find a mirror.

But surely thats your aim & message u r trying to get across??..... & it then completely changes the tack of the argument to - should we talk about this, as opposed to actually discussing the issue....
