It actually says "Robert has no intention whatsoever of touring with anyone for at least the next two years." If you're looking for nuanced meaning in one place, you probably need to apply it everywhere. As they say, hell is paved with good intentions! Just my .02, but "I won't" seems a LOT stronger statement with far less wiggle room than "I don't intend to." Robert has shown time again his mastery of the subtleties of language and I'm sure that statement wasn't crafted in five minutes on the eighth cocktail napkin! I'm pretty sure the wiggle room is there on purpose.<br> <br>Keep up the great observations and thanks for all you do for the community!Steve Sauerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03823992972037781146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5361017796205994256.post-14139703555499597732008-09-30T17:03:00.000-04:002008-09-30T17:03:00.000-04:00Good observations, Nuvo.You know, all it took for ...Good observations, Nuvo.<br><br>You know, all it took for Robert to give us his official, firm denial was for The Sun to claim he had said yes to a reunion.<br><br>But, as you point out, he made the statement with only one week remaining on his tour with Alison, so there's minimal effect on ticket sales (if any at all).<br><br>Makes you wonder if he would have been so forthcoming with a firm "no way" statement had The Sun published its Robert-says-yes story months ago.Steve Sauerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03823992972037781146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5361017796205994256.post-33494876481438987592008-09-30T15:17:00.000-04:002008-09-30T15:17:00.000-04:00It’s official; there will be no “Victory Lap”.Now,...It’s official; there will be no “Victory Lap”.<br><br>Now, that’s the Robert that we all know and love.<br><br>Like I said before, I was not holding my breath, and for good reason.<br><br>I wish that he would have came out with that statement sooner, to see if it would have affected the attendance at his concerts with Allison. That would have proved my theory about the success that he is enjoying with her, was all do to the O7 concert, and not because it was such a great album . . . . but we shall never know.<br><br>Nuvo911Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5361017796205994256.post-71470699981510303022008-09-29T19:17:00.000-04:002008-09-29T19:17:00.000-04:00Rich, I'll pass on that poseur Coverdale.
