That's an interesting question! I watched it on Youtube and was wondering the same thing... where did you get the idea for the video from, it's brilliant?  |

Hm, I would like to know which places/venues you would still like to play... and if you are going to keep playing for James or leave someday to follow your solo career.
And seconds for the question if you are planning gigs in Europe someday...

Hey John,
Seen you James and the band at the TSB arena in Wellington New Zealand so glad you joined the band. Happy I got to stand right up the front. ( great view I must add) Really cannot wait for you all to come back.
Do you think that you will stay with the band and tour with them for the next cd? ( I really hope so)

John directed it, conceptualized it, edited it, posted it, etc...
Filmed in the west village, it's a loop from esperanto around bleecker and minetta lane and then down macdougal... it was raining, lots of johnny's friends are in the video holding the signs...

Thank you so much for the info, theafroshane! Hmm, master of the guitar, bass, piano and drums... incredible voice, great composer, brilliant lyricist... directing intriguing videos... and still one of the best kept secrets... there must be something wrong with the music business... not fair, not fair...   |

that's indeed not fair  but apparently the whole music industry relies more on glamour and attention than on quality and passion at the moment... it's a shame |

all has its pros and cons.. at least he now has time to manage his own messageboard, take time to reply to questions in the forum, walk the streets without being photographed or yelled at every 100 mtrs, have a personal life without being interogated about personal stuff all the time, play small venues.... and we as fans get a chance to listen to and record a track, which we are permitted to upload for others; ask him our own questions (tho we are still waiting for the answers....lol) But yes, a bit more exposure would be nice  |

This one doesn't require an answer as much as it solicits action...
Won't you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be a doll and put up 'abdicate' or 'Never far from me' on one of your myspace pages?
