However, when he says new stuff, like his intro to Seeds We Sow, I was quite pleased to hear it and proud of the way he strung the sentiments from earlier speeches together. I was actually touched when he said that he can't think of anything he would change, even though I knew exactly how rehearsed it was and I realized that he's going to say this every night of his upcoming tour before 2011 ends and, by then, I will be quite weary.

Yeah, I basically don't ever have a problem with the speeches when they are completely new/relatively new/reworked to sound fresh. But I'm very Adult ADD and my attention starts getting loopy once I've heard the same thing said so many times with almost the exact words verbatim.

But I can't besmirch Lindsey. He feels comfortable enough to open up in this capacity and I do appreciate that, which is why I am always 100% respectful when he gets into them. I mean, the man never opens up about anything other than what is in the context of these speeches, so I'm glad to get it...just, you know, spice them up a little is all I ask.
