Amen! He's obviously too young to remember those "awful" things that happened in the 60's!

Antonio ain't got time for that bulls**t.

It's a damn shame and I can't believe folks are jumping on him saying "we have every right" and blah blah blahing about Supremes drama, why her sets aren't longer...gimme a break. This kid should be able to enjoy himself for the remaining tours and not have to deal with all the baggage!

^ I think, like some of us, he realizes that someone as old as Diana have limits to what they can do. Some folks live in the past wondering why Diana can't do at 70 what she used to do at 30, 40 or even 50. I hate that someone with a different opinion gets ganged up by others who simply don't agree. It just makes you not want to participate in fan discussions.

If he's 19, he was born in 1995 and has no direct exposure to any of the drama that most of the rest of us saw in "real time" with regards to everything from Flo's replacement, her death, Motown 25, Dreamgirl, and of course, RTL [[unless he was six years old tuned in to 20/20 Friday night at 10PM). Even the unpleasant Airport and Phoenix events came at a time when he was barely in Elementary School. Sure, he can go to the library and check out a few books or research old news online but frankly, why would he bother at this point? If he enjoys the music and the concerts, let him be.

^ Exactly. I remember the RTL controversy and I rather forget it myself.
