Bad News everybody, No Tour until Possibly this Fall. Due to record company politics, this I read from a website source. There were to start this spring, but now its held off until this fall. So everyone count on a short tour this fall.

what's your source?....if you are going to post stuff like that you need to back yourself up

although what you said sounds reasonable with the time it's taking to get the album done

And it's also reasonable to hope that if this year's tour is short, he'll tour next year too.

I agree

Well there is nothing to say he wont tour in the winter. Im sure he would take the holidays and aniversary and Nina's b-day off, but he could still do it. Although that would make for some cold nights for us waiting by the bus.

After all, they toured Alaska and Canada without incident, so temperature doesn't seem to be that major of a factor.

I do wonder now if there are any tangible advantages for a performer to have a summer tour versus, to use this example, a winter tour. It does always seem as if music acts tour during the summer. Which physical conditions are better during that time? Is it to hopefully bring in more kids out of school with disposable income on hand? I wonder.

Al plays a lot of county fairs and summer festivals. Unsurprisingly, those happen in summer. Also, for an artist with as many school-age fans as Al has, it's an advantage to tour in summer, when he can schedule midweek concerts that kids can go to, and stay up for, and not have to go to school the next morning.

Whatever the hang-up is with the new album, it's a cryin' shame.

Not sure if this will be good news or bad news....

Cedar Fair to Buy Paramount Parks From CBS

This could potentially affect future tour itineraries, as the Paramount Parks have been very kind to Al in the last several years.

I don't know whether or not they plan on expanding their entertainment operation with this buyout, but based on the other two Cedar Fair parks in Ohio, Cedar Point and Geauga Lake, they don't normally book mainstream pop acts to perform. Knott's Berry Farm is probably a little different in that respect, though, since it's right there in Los Angeles.

Well, according to the article in The Plain Dealer today, nothing will change until at least after this season, and not much is scheduled to change after that. I believe the quote from the Cedar Fairs chairman was, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." It sounds to me like they're planning on keeping things pretty much the same.
