My 3rd favorite of the album. Buuuuuut...
well, yea... its one of his best writing, and quite easy to sing for him now.
But stiiiiiill...
pardon me, it's just me being silly and sentimental :rolleyes:

I understand why you would say that. But I was at a show ages ago where Jon told the story of writing that song - and how Richie admired it. But the day Jon was writing it was a day that Richie just never showed up - so the song is Jon's only. So Jon was writing about Richie and was used to him being gone years ago.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing. I always thought that song was about Richie's dad passing too.

I think it was written for a few things, including the passing of Richie's Dad and also his split from Heather Locklear. Personally, it's one of my favourite songs by the band ever, regardless of post/pre 2000.

Also, thanks for the updates Kathleen :)

Thanks for that info, I didnt know about the part where he didn't show up.
Not surprised, though...

I don't know if many of you remember Ryan from the board? Ryan the golf nut? He is tweeting the setlist and I'm posting. He deserves a big thanks too :) I will have to leave in about 20 minutes so if any of you can see him on twitter you can post the rest of the setlist. @RyanBounce04
