Well, he obviously didn't pick up on my hint regarding "Oh Well"...I guess I should've been a little more snotty.

It seems to me that they don't even really bother to ask John HIS opinion, let alone ours. And he seems very happy to go along w/ whatever they decide to do; he just wants to play and not make waves. I think he said something along those lines in the 1st Q&A-- Here it is, I found it--

"I'm quite happy to let the others pick out the set. It's quite a balancing act. Figuring out whose songs, the tempo's and how they feel in the set. The length of the set, etc. There's quite enough "input" without my "two pennysworth". I'm just glad to be there, playing."

So, sadly, I don't think much would come of any requests made!

I totally understand that, but I think this could be a little different. We "ledgies" are asking him directly if anything like that could ever happen. I wanted to also enforce something along the lines of "a lot of the fans here pay big money to be up front at the shows and some of us travel around the US to see you guys." That kind of makes it sound like we deserve to maybe have one or two of our favorite songs in the set. IM HAVING TROUBLE PHRASING THIS AS YOU CAN SEE!!!

We should just tell him flat out...

"No 'Oh Well', not comin' to the show.".
