Rod Stewart concert. Cow Palace. S.F. 1979. Someone let off a barrel home for fun. Old Rod and the band skeedaddled off stage. Took 20 minutes for the concert to restart.

All this carnage in Manchester has to be Donald Trump's fault.

He's such a meanie.

From what I could see of the video footage, she attracts young women to her concerts. Prayers up for all of them.

From The Sun:

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/3624815/manchester-arena-explosion-ariana-grande-gig-multiple-deaths/

Chris Parker, 33, was walking through the station towards the box office when one explosion went off.

He said he saw at least six ­people seriously injured on the floor and told the Sun: “I was walking through and one huge bang went off.

“There was nuts and bolts flying everywhere, and also human flesh. It was just one bang and a white flash. I treated a woman called Pauline. I’ve got blood on my hands. It was like a war zone inside where the box office is.

“There looked to be at least six people potentially fatally wounded. I saw one woman’s leg off. It is mayhem.”

Ariana needs to hold another concert tomorrow night “to show her fans are bigger than the bombs conservatives plant.”

Suicide bomb filled with nails and bolts. Hmm, I wonder which religious group is associated with such tactics?
