Re: JE



Right, but I think they have a pause for mourning built in.  The first
leg is actually very short and after it's done, they'll have some time
to pay their respects properly.  If they can complete most of the first
leg, it's that much less work they have to do later on.  If this tour
does turn out to be a tribute tour, then maybe they'd consider
extending it in Europe and the UK later in the fall.

Pete may have made the decision whether to go on or not, but remember
he's not the only one involved in the tour, and he doesn't speak for
all of them.  Roger covered the other side of it when he published his
very emotional statement about celebrating John's life.  It's curious
that Pete turns cold in situations like this--mayabe a tendency to
retreat to business details to block out his emotions--but that "Pray
for us" was clear enough.  That was before he got it all blocked out.
