that they are probably being blamed for a lot of things that they haven't done and that we should all judge them based on our own personal encounters, my main issue with them is what they are doing to David and this tour in general. The whole point of this tour is for David to make new fans, so how do you think he must feel looking out into the crowd each night and seeing the same faces over and over....?
And yes it's nice that they saved a spot for Neal's mom.... but how do they even know what she looks like? Unless Neal looks exactly like his mother? Or are they pushing boundaries that perhaps they shouldn't?
I question a lot of their motives and actions and I don't think I'm wrong in that.
They're out there on the front line representing the whole fanbase, whether we (or David) like it or not. We can't tell them to stop, we have no right to do that, but I think we have every right to question their actions.
We all need to police ourselves. I actually felt badly for taking a couple of pictures of David and the guys watching a band perform on Saturday at Sunfest, when everyone around me would have had no problem with it. I'm extra-sensitive to all this "stalker" crap and it sucks. We can't just be fans anymore because of the perception that is out there, and that's all due to the actions of a small few.
Would I do what they're doing given the chance? No. I'd like to see a few more shows, yes, but seeing him perform every night would take some of the magic away for me. Not that it would ever be boring, but definitely less special. I loved the anticipation, the Christmas Eve feeling that I had on Friday. Do they feel that anymore?
While I agree...
