Ok, here are a few things I wrote on Backstreets, but I'll explain what they are in response to
Ok: 1st, why are there so many parents in Texas allowing their young girls dress like sluts?: From the moment I saw the "gaggle" of small girls outside, I knew they'd end up on stage, but I didn't really realize there were SO many of them. Why there were so many pre-teens and younger dressed like hookers at tonight's show, I will probably never understand, but there were also about six or seven of them in seats as well.
I was on the rail on Clarence's side, and that was pretty freakin' exciting, with two people from Interference...I will have to look up their Interference names, because at the moment I'm too tired to think, and can only remember real names.
Jon Bon Jovi joined Bruce for Glory Days, a lot of people on Backstreets are complaining but,
I thought it was awesome that Jon Bon was there, and I laughed a lot when Bruce had to show him where the teleprompter was, not that he ever messed up any of the lyrics.
Awesome that Independence Day was played, that's currently my favorite song.
I got really sick during the show, so when he played Meeting I was really disappointed, but Jungleland was just too amazing. Everything about Clarence was great, and the fact that he can make sitting in a chair look as bad-ass as he does, was awesome.
Is Max shy? Bruce had to coax him out from backstage to come take a bow when he told the audience it was his birthday before going into the encore.
In response to people complaining about the fact that Bruce pulled the girls dressed like hookers on stage (there were about ten of them):
I think we all get it though. Bruce enjoys seeing young people at his shows, and they were 100% going to get pulled up on stage, at least it was fun to see how much fun he was having.
Because he really was enjoying himself, and you could tell. He had to stop singing once because he was laughing.
And one person on Backstreets said that the audience was not really singing along at all to the new songs (from Magic) but to that I say:
Maybe it didn't sound like people were singing along with the new songs, but they definitely were where I was standing. That was one thing that I noticed immediately was that people were singing around, odd that it was different elsewhere.

Um...Nils is AMAZING! I had no idea. I wouldn't let myself watch any bootlegs or anything, so I didn't have a lot of back info to go on, but Jesus Christ! The solo he played on...Because the Night?
I know this post is confusing and not making a lot of sense. I'm really tired, think I have a slight second hand high going, and for the strangest reason, have a sun burn under my eyes
Good night to all until tomorrow
