For The Record: My previous comment on LA vs. OC were made in fun, were misinterpreted (by some) and taken out of the context of friendly competition. I apologize to anyone who felt slighted or hurt by these comments. My intentions (I know, I know: the road to hell...!) were of lighthearted fun, and I realize now that is not how they may have appeared in print. I do not take sides on the behavior of people due to real estate: it is an individuals unique and daily experience, it is how **we** interact with the people around us that usually influences how they will behave with us. I find wonderful, friendly, generous people all around me no matter where I am. And an occasional idiot... lol! Those who know me know that I am a big Dodger fan, and there is a very friendly rivalry around here re: Dodger vs. Angels, Blue vs. Red, etc. It's a great way to meet guys, btw... Last night Dodger Stadium was fill with Angelians at the same price range that Staples Center presented, the same amount of celebrities, the same opportunity for the audience to be passive or active... last night we were active! The outdoor air, the moon, the visuals... and of course the band was perfection! What a night!! In related news, an insider that has been with the band for years told Maggie and I that the band was flat at Staples, not really into that night... maybe, just maybe, the audience was feeding off the performers and not the other way around? Also, a logical explanation for the heightened enthusiasm at the Honda Center/OC was because there were signs everywhere stating that night's performance was being taped... the band knew it, too. I'm just saying that there are so many outlying factors that can influence how we all take in a shared experience--look at the varied reviews and reactions from us hardcore fans of the same night/tour!!--but the constant is us. How do we choose to react to what's around us? I personally have been very hopeful and open to a great experience since the beginning whispers of a possible tour, and six times now have loved every moment. [sigh] Of course I have opinions, who doesn't? Has the band been perfect every time? Hell no! Nor the audiences, or the people standing next to me, or the parking, or the surrounding events... and yet I'm loving every minute!! Look, people, this will pass! We will not have this opportunity to go and listen and sing and laugh and watch our beloved band for much longer. A year is nothing in the grand scheme of things, and I hope we all get out there and absorb as much as we can! And I do love you all, as brothers and sisters as we share in this joyous reunion.
