Default Why Paris..? I guess it makes a lot of sense

THIS POST BELONGS ON THE O-BOARD

i was driving home from work and it hit me why SP might be in Paris for the 1st show. Since the statue of liberty is on the cover it makes a lot of sense to me.

Any thoughts?

Maybe the B-side to "United States" will be "France"

Maybe Billy is doing the show in France so he can make it all pro USA and cause an anti-American riot so he makes the news.

That'd be some nice publicity.

It's because of the French REVOLUTION, which is apparently the repeated lyric in United States

The Statue of Liberty was red, originally

It's made of copper

So the ZEITGEIST cover depicts the uncertain times of the late 1880s

Only two years after the statue's donation, Jack the Ripper would tear through Whitechapel

Hitler would be conceived

It's a historical record really

Duh, the first show is in Paris because BC is un-American. Freedom fries!

It is also a clue to where the next legs of the tour will begin. The second leg will begin in NYC and the third leg will begin in Vegas.

so you're saying the first show was billy's gift to paris, like the statue was france's gift to the US?

i still think it has more to do with all the problems billy had in france with zwan. teh show cancellations, lack of marketing/promotion, venue downgrades, etc.
