This Never Happened, It's Just a Dream...

Ok...this whole "so many shows in one state was stupid" argument is just getting retarded.  All 50 states are not the exact same size with the exact same population.  I'm sure that alot of things were taken into consideration when planning this tour.  Things like population density, radio play in the various cities, and frankly, availbility of forums.  An easy way to look at it is just by sheer distance.  Let's look at a few examples of the Florida dates and the distances between the cities.  Sunrise to Tampa = 254 miles.  Tampa - Estero = 154 miles.  Estero - Jacksonville =338 miles.  Now let's look at the distances between a few other, non-Florida shows.  Greensboro, NC - Huntington, WV = 296 miles.  Portland, ME - Worcester, MA = 137 miles.  Get my drift?

It's amazing to me to think that people would or would'nt travel outside their state to see the band.  Hell, there could be a ton of people in Florida who go to the North Carolina show who didn't go to any Florida shows because Huntington is closer to where they live.

Would you be making the same argument if GNR did 4 shows in Texas (Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio) and only one show in Rhode Island?

If you really want to make that argument, Florida has an extremely high rate of Retirees that want to hear the beach boys rather than GNR...  hihi

Maybe you should visit florida because you have no idea what you're talking about.

I didn't call you a retard.  I called your statement retarded.

And yes...there are alot of retirees in FL.  But I don't think that was your point in saying that GNR should not have done so many shows in that state.  If it was, then you should have put that in your original post when you started this thread.

But addressing that issue, yes.  Florida does have a whole lot of retirees.  But that isn't the entire population of the state.  Utah has a whole lot of Mormons, but I'm pretty sure that they could pull off a GNR show in Salt Lake City and somehow be able to find enough non-Mormons willing to go.

I've lived in Florida all my life, and although it is loaded with retirerees, they still only make up a small portion of the overall population.
