Yes, John is going to skip the concert for his daughter and go to Seattle just for you. Give me a break. Can you think about his needs or is it all about you?

this may be a dumb question but who will be playing in the concert? i know john probably will be, but who else is up?

well, since you don't have a sense of humor (the kirky j dig), i'll step it up a notch for ya... please tell me larry graham won't be replacing prince. (since he'll be at the tribute show as well.)

I live near Columbia and I heard that John's not going to be there at the benefit concert.

That is so sad. When I heard there had been I death I presumed it would have been an elderly member of his family. This is something he'll never get over. Rest in peace
Jia.
