Don't think I'd ever be interested in going to one of the former Fabs' concerts, but good for you if you liked it.
I'm pissed that Jon Stewart failed to interview Richie! It's pretty damn sad when Jimmy Fallon does a better job than The Daily Show. He oughta go on The View and see what happens! LOL
