My brother and his buddies have their tickets already. He asked if I wanted him to get me one, but I had to pass. Too many people. I’d go nuts. But I’m sure it’ll be a blast. ---

**Have Love & Will Travel (Jim Belushi & Dan Akroyd)** So they aren’t calling themselves the Blues Brothers anymore? Does this mean Dan has finally realized there is no Blues Brothers without John? ---

Not really…it’s usually just called “The Concert for Toronto” or “Rolling Stones Toronto”. I have taken to calling it “Sarsapalooza”, myself 😉 ---
