Feedback

Thanks to everyone who wrote me about my Springsteen Album review yesterday. I posted the URL to the review on a few other sites, and it drew a few new people to Shot in the Dark - and my hit count for the day showed it.

I'll be buying tickets for Bruce's September 30 show this weekend. This is madness to say, since I'm a single dad whose free time is at a super-premium, but I miss the good old days of buying tickets - getting up at midnight, getting in line at 1AM to wait for the 9AM opening of the doors - trudging forward over the hours, meeting your fellow fans, making dates, swapping tour stories...

Enh. I'll be on Ticketmaster. Such is progress.

Did that sound crotchety or what?

Speaking of progress - the first time I saw Springsteen, at the St. Paul Civic Center in 1984, the ticket was $16.50, with all fees. This time, it's $75 - and that's relatively good, since it's the same price no matter where you sit in the arena. No $300 front row seats here.
