Shocked, I remember thinking we should really go uptown.. but knew it was impossible... me, big and clumsy and my daughter too little to know why I would drag her out into such a crowd. It was really strange. Complete strangers in my neighborhood would talk about it to anyone and everyone. It was as if a dear friend had just died. Huge sense of a loss in the family .

I remember watching a special about the murder of John that included the deranged maniac making ludicris statements about how no one should have been so loved - and Graham Brown's song really makes sense and poses an excellent observation - Just how "Blind" must one be, whether blinded by their own insanity, to take such an action.

I just couldn't believe it. How? Why? What a loss. I remember the nationwide moment of silence they had on radio and I still remember walking to my part time job a couple years later listening to Paul Simon's "The Late Great Johnny Ace", missing him even more.

It was, as usual, a great show. Bruce came back out for an encore ...but it was a sad slow song (forget the song). I remember thinking it was an odd choice for an arena that was on its feet. When we got out to the car we heard that John Lennon had been shot... I wish I could remember the song Bruce did...I'm sure its what he felt like playing after he heard the news. Assassinations...one of the events my generation got use to.... I was at the Bruce Springsteen concert in Philly that night. It was, as usual, a great show.
