  1. I was supposed to go to the show Sunday.... I was disappointed yes, but I highly disagree with the legislation in North Carolina. At the end of the day, the way I saw it is that not going to the show gave me more time to work on some homework due this week... Only 28 days til Graduation
  2. I can understand that a fan can be pissed, and I agree that cancelling a concert is a pretty drastic move, but I heartfully agree with Bruce (and Dieder fwiw) on this. We're in 2016 for God's sake, laws are supposed to evolve and go forward together with people's thinking, not the other way round. And if cancelling a concert, or ten concerts, or a hundred concerts, make people realize this, then go ahead Boss. And if some of your fanbase don't understand that, then shame on them. Thank God, it's not only rock and roll, and we like it that way.
  3. There's so many dumb people who are utterly perplex by the whole thing. Anyone who is shocked by the cancellation obviously weren't been paying to attention to his music & what he stands for.

    I do not think this has anything to do with more rights for transgenders. These people will do harm no matter what. Let's agree to disagree. I feel sorry your show was cancelled, and hope you get a chance to see his show later.
    I did not have tickets to this show . I went to Tampa to see Pearl Jam

    My point was I felt he could have protested in a better way is all I was saying . Maybe mention it a few times during the gig ?

    He canceled 48 hrs before the show . I felt he screwed the fans

    I agree to disagree as well .... all good .

    "laws are supposed to evolve and go forward together with people's thinking"

    That is a beautiful theory. It should be this way indeed. I live in the EU and can't recall any new or changed law that would fit this description. It is all about more and more directives, restrictions, obstacles in normal life procedures.

    I come from a formal socialistic country and I vividly remember that beautiful time 26 years ago when the Berlin wall came down, we felt free and everything seemed possible. And it actually felt like that for some years. People really felt free, a lot of people were truly eager to work. It is funny to look at how things have changed in about 20 years. Everything is so awfully complex, there are laws, directives, norms and I don't know what everywhere you look, most of them make absolutely no sence. People are generally very angry (which is most obvious if you drive a car and see all the rudeness around - people who don't seem to care whether they kill themselves and people around are no exceptions), nobody wants to work, just wants more and more money for nothing. If one is a person who is fine with being stuck in a dead-end-job, comes home, turns on his telly, watches the soap operas and news to know what to think, then he is fine. If one has any other ambitions he only faces more and more obstacles and is punished for any achievement he might accomplish. When I look at our government, there are people who, if we were still a socialistic country, would all be in the communist party (and many many of them actually were - yes, they are still in the government 26 years later). And those people will really just laugh at some rock concert being cancelled.

    I know, I write about our country and we actually discuss US, but I believe it is the same kind of peole trying to get to the politics and get power no matter what, no matter what regime. Still the same people. I hate it, but of course have no idea what to do with it.

    Mentioning it during some boring speeches -about which 90% of the audience doesnt care about- won't turn people's heads nor make a strong enough point. This issue deserves more dramatic action, kudos to the Boss and Bryan Adams for taking a step forward.

    I'm only really really sorry about those who were travelling to the cancelled show and have lost flights and hotels money.
  7. Didn't realise there was to be 2 Croke shows.
  8. And both sold out instantly
  11. Yes try Gerard Especially for the first
  12. I may have a look.
