Well, I wish he would give a concert in San Diego.

@Thomas Phillips Have you ever seen him live? If you haven’t, he’s definitely worth the drive from SD. This was the 3rd time I’ve seen him. 2005 Cerritos, 2015 Beverly Hills and now 2023 in Beverly Hills also.

@Christian He was actually going to perform here in South Texas where I live, and my mom was considering going. Unfortunately, they cancelled the concert because not enough people bought tickets.
