I could be way off. However, in thinking recently, I had a realization. Is it at all possible, that with Bruce's recent failure to sway votes to Kerry's side with the VFC Tour, that Bruce will not go back to the ESB until George Bush is out of office. It seems to me that his last two albums, and the VFC Tour, obviously have been politically backed. Especially with his banter at concerts, speaking out against Bush, etc. Is it possible that Bruce will not go back to "The Boss w/ ESB" until he is happy with what he has done to fully speak out against Bush with these other political fights through song and tour. As I said, I could be way off, but just something that could explain the ESB absence. Because it's very clear that everyone misses the Rising & Reunion tours.
