I remember taking a younger friend of mine; a girl I used to baby sit for to this concert while she was still in high school. It was a tremendous concert for her, because towards the end of the show, Southside dragged her up on the stage and sang to her, just like the Boss would do. She was in heaven all the way home.

Ok, so now I am going to Music Inn because I can see stuff for free and I am totally in love with an older married man who is way too beautiful to stay away from . . . oh yeah, the concert; it was folky. Pete is very sincere, and I met Arlo walking around the grounds the next day - he lives just down the road at this point.
