I think 1 million would be high. Maybe I should go to http:www.sgi.com and see if they've released any info… As to Pearl Jam, Young, etc., it was great! Constitution Hall is about the size of a large high school gym — seats 3000. But instead of being a stupid gym, it is a restored historic building 3 blocks from the White House. Gloria Stienem introduced the evening, and I liked listening to her (sounded a lot more like a libertarian than any kind of militant feminist). Lisa Germano played a half dozen songs (who is she and how did she get on the bill). Then L7 came out. I didn't know about L7 before this show, but I ran out to buy one of their CDs once I got back home. Then Young and Crazy horse came out to do a set. Of course, all during this time there were various humorous comments about Newtie, et al. Finally, Pearl Jam did a 1.5-2 hour set. All the music was great, the cause was great and the audience was great. Did I mention that it was a great show? The whole thing lasted from 8pm sharp 'til about 1:30 in the morning and was run very professionally and smoothly.

Dale, Sounds like it was a great show. Wish I could've joined you, but it seems that the lottery system they used destined you to get a chance to buy the tickets. A once-in-a-lifetime experience, eh? Regards, John Chang

Could you please explain why the cause for which you attended the concert is great? RM

Because I don't think fascists ought to be telling other people what to believe or what to do. I want a choice in what I can and cannot read, what I can say, etc. I want women to be able to choose what they will do with their bodies. Whether I think it is morally right is irrelevant.
