More JFK

The band took the stage, most of them wearing black. Springsteen went to the mike. "If it wasn't for John Lennon," he said, "a lot of us would be in some place much different tonight. It's a hard world that makes you live with a lot of things that are unlivable. And it's hard to come out here and play tonight, but there's nothing else to do." The day after Lennon was killed.
Fascinating bit HERE on the Boston Symphony orchestra announcing JFK's assassination, and then playing Beethoven.
