Because he's a smug ass? Oh, that's right.

DOR wasn't the only focus of all marketing efforts.
CAD, Show You How and
It Was You received a lot of publicity.
When he made comments about the record company not promoting his GOS album, he also remarked that the record company chose the poppy
Did You Miss Me as the single. Maybe that wouldn't have been
his choice. Maybe omitting DOR doesn't contradict the comments he made on stage during the GOS tour, but
reinforces them. Maybe he didn't put
Down on Rodeo in the setlist because he wanted to expose less commercial songs in the slot that
DOR would have held. Since he had to perform the 3 songs that were released before UTS came out, along with
GYOW, Holiday Road and
Trouble, maybe he felt that there just wasn't room for one more "safe" play.
Furthermore,
DOR was pretty well known among fans already and maybe he wanted to showcase the songs from the album that were less familiar.
I had a problem with Lindsey not doing
OOTC songs. And I had an even bigger problem when he told us he was going to do them next tour and then all we got was
Don't Look Down. So, I don't approve of his setlist choices 100% and I don't think disagree that he's smug. But the criticism you're leveling about the exclusion of DOR seems to
prove the presence of his testicles, rather than refute their presence, as you've charged.
