I love analogies, and a great one came to me, that I believe sums up my feelings about the current tour.
I am a few years away from 50, so for my 50th birthday I want to celebrate. I have many lifelong, loyal friends who I will invite. However, in order to receive more gifts, I will also invite as many casual friends as possible. As to not alienate these casual friends and aquaintences, I will not play the music, or do the things that my close friends and I have always done. If we decide to play guitar and such, I want to play songs that everyone knows and will avoid the old blues and deep cuts that the people in my circle love; we must play popular stuff so the hangers on won't feel left out. I will serve bland food that everyone likes and won't laugh at inside jokes. Etc.....
If I did this and my close friends yawned and left early, I WOULD NOT BLAME THEM. But who cares, they should just be happy I threw a party right? Besides, it's all about the presents anyway......thats my right. It may well be the last party I throw, but who cares, as long as the body count says I'm popular. Oh.....and NO COMPLAINING!
I would NEVER act that way, and if I did, I would be an @#$%&.

I haven't come across a Roy Rogers fast food joint in about 15 years. Do they still exist? Great burgers!

I think it's crazy I'm still in my hotel room typing posts on IORR when I should be making my way down to the show.
I've got a bit of a cold mind you, I might just go for a bit of a lie down before the show.

Looks like the closest is in Ohio. How Far is that from Austin, Texas?

Just down the street....
and from the looks of the website, that roast beef sandwich might be worth the drive.

Does anyone else get their tit in a ringer when hearing RW say repeatedly in interviews how he "left home" (US interpretation: "I walked out on my wife"]?
He says it in a way like we're supposed to feel sympathy for his embarking on his own, into the cruel world, as a 60-something multi-millionaire adulterer.
In the US, "leaving home" is something young adults do when they leave their mom and dad's house, to make their own way in the world. This expression generally refers to ages 18-22 , when one "leaves home" for good upon graduating college, enrolling in the military, etc., not when they're 65. That guy would say "I got divorced" or maybe (but doubtful) "I left my wife." If he said "I left home", the listener would be confused about what 65 year old was referring to, thinking he was recounting a story from 40 years ago.
I realize this is purely a semantical thing, but being in the US hearing this guy talk like that brings to mind a confused geriatric who still thinks he's a little boy. I have a lot of other things to be concerned about; I'm just wondering if this bothers anyone else.
