Thank you so much for doing us the honor of listening to our new record, thank you so much. Everywhere I go, people say, journalists say, media say, whatever the fuck they are these days, bloggers, they’re like “Man, you guys have some of the craziest fans in the world.” Damn fuckin’ straight. We’re lucky in that our fans, fans of my songs, live everywhere from 1987 to 2012, it’s an incredible thing. What era, whatever era you love, thank you so much for being here tonight, it means so much to us, it means everything. Because kids are the future, Jeff. Kids are the future, that’s what I heard. Anyway, thank you Nicole, thank you Jeff, thank you Mike. So we dedicate this last song to you, thank you so much, we’ll see you again.
