56,000 woooo, it will certified tin before you know it.
Well it sounds pretty good for a guy who is 56 years old and has been playing music for 35 years. This was 20+ album that have been released, and I haven't checked out the rest of the top ten but I bet he's fighting against a bunch of hip-hop and teeny bopper crap! The show last Wednesday at Riverbend in Cincinnati was totally packed and I sure didn't hear anyone complaining after the show. John kicked it the same way he has been for the last 35 years...some of the new songs are a little darker but hey that happens as you age and face that your life is half over. I really love the new album and "If I Die Sudden" rocked out in Cincy...it didn't sound near as "dark" as on the new album.
