So I'm guessing Gerry, that you have inside information about why the tour has been cancelled. As to why the tour was rescheduled in the first place, I think that is now apparent.

Yes, it sucks when you have booked flights and accomodation, but it is personal choice as to which shows an individual chooses to attend. I considered flying interstate but decided the financial risk for me was too great, I guess some chose to take that chance, and lost. It sucks, but I guess now those affected have the choice to lose that money or take a few days break

I feel that maybe a little compassion could be shown to a man who has suffered a loss. A man who through his music has helped many of us through some dark periods in our own lives. 

As for freedom of speech, here it is: you've said your piece, and I've said mine.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Ted Mellencamp.

I hope that a few of those who have posted here dissing JM for cancelling the Aussie tour are now going to apologise and show him some sympathy over the loss of his brother, Ted.

John and family, my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

No worries Tony. Thanks for your reply.

As it stands at the moment, I still have tix bought earlier. I'll just have to ride it out and see wahat happens.

Hi Tony.   Just wondering if you can shed some light.

I am still waiting to hear from venue as to what the go is with tickets purchased for Feb, then noticed last night that tix go on sale today for re scheduled show. I cant afford to purchase tix "just in case" but desperately dont want to miss the concert.  I emailled Dainty Corp to ask them, but their reply is that they are closed for the Christmas break until next week.

I'm feeling a little anxious!

Thanks Tony.

Good thangs come to those who wait......just have to wait longer I guess!!! 

Yeah, got an email from the venue (bought tickets direct from the venue this time), with all the details about the tix being valid for new venue, but I was hoping you could shed some light (I don't expect all the nitty gritty details) as to why.

Tony...this is the rumour, what's going on? 

I'm all for dressing for comfort, but John, please, DITCH THE TRACKIE DACKS! 

I'm totally unorganized this year but now it's DONE!! 

Truth of the matter is that 'IF" there is any truth in the article, it simply isn't our business and therefore, not worth worrying about.

Yeah Dolly, I'm still here..  Still check in daily and YES, I very much miss the CCB days.   

Thanks Tony.  I was getting worried that we were losing the board altogether.

Women's Day is a gossip mag. Take it with a pinch of salt.

Thanks for those Sharon. 

I love US election time......there is always the chance we're going to see JM out and about on the campaign trail.
