I've told a couple of long-time members about these things as they happened but I chose to keep things, for the most part, private. Is it mandatory to publicly state when & where we've been to GL shows and to share every detail of what happened? And NO - I didn't take photos. The man does NOT like having his picture taken but he does what he has to do to make his fans happy. I tend to naturally respect people's wishes. I do that with everyone.

Not that it would ever happen here but I've seen other forums where it was a never-ending display of one-upmanship. Some people call it a "pi**ing contest." I didn't want to appear to be playing that creepy little game. I enjoy everyone here and seriously love to read about everyone's love of this man's music. But some things I want to keep to myself.

I probably should have kept those silly backstage passes and I thought about that as I tossed them into the dust bin but they just weren't the kind of thing that meant a whole lot to me. It's just not a big deal. Although I did keep them for a month or so. I do love his music but I don't worship him the way other people do and besides - "Heros often fail."

I was merely commenting on the situation with the rotating tour managers because it's confusing to the fans. That's all. However, if I were to spill the beans...... OH MY GOD. But I won't. The beans are going with me to my grave.

And, for the record, I won't be making a peep about future shows I'll be attending, either. It's just not my style.
Leslie was with them in Colorado. It sometimes depends on who is available for who is on tour with them.
No, it's not mandatory Misty to post all your experiences, I just think Char was being polite in asking.
