| 4. This isn't going to be a popular sentiment, but |
|
ugh. Why not just tie-die the Fleet Center and have the speakers come out in clothes made of organic hemp?

| 6. You say that like it's a bad thing |

I'm a younger person but I love and appreciate all the old hippies that are coming out of the woodwork. They made things possible for all of us. :)
Of course I am wearing a tie-dye t-shirt right now...

I'm glad to see those sentiments are still alive today. It's good to see so many people my age taking up the call with protest songs, etc. just like in those days.

People were'nt so complacent in the 60's and certainly spoke up for their rights even if it meant being arrested. History is repeating itself and we're not paying attention (not you and I, expressly).

| 7. They did bring a tear to my eye. . . |
|
Even though (as I said in another thread), Mary's voice has deteriorated hugely, they still have the ability to wring out emotion.
And what more can be said about Ossie Davis? Even just doing an introduction, he still has the ability to command your complete attention.
