Kathleen, unless the upcoming Jovi tour gets in the way, I'm gonna really try for that January date at BB King's!

I saw John Mellencamp last night, and he was terrific. He's touring with Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan, so he only has a little more than an hour. He's doing a really well thought out set -- some old songs (and not all hits either, and he's actually dropped the big hit Jack & Diane and the world hasn't come to an end ), some songs from his last album, a song he's just recorded for his next album, and even a few songs in the middle with just John and his acoustic guitar. I absolutely loved it, and I'm really hoping he won't skip the South on his next solo tour like he did last year.
