Never saw Bruce Springsteen, in concert, or on TV, or anywhere else.
But, we went to a great Ft. Worth Opera production last night, of "RIGOLETTO."
No politics.

No politics.
It wasn't always this way, though, was it? Isn't Rigoletto infamous for being an opera wherein some ruler is killed? Didn't that get it banned for a while, a few centuries ago?
And evan if not, I still remember fondly the Odd Couple episode where Felix bemoans to Oscar "You broke my Rigoletto!"

I like your tag line, do you watch Animal Precinct, Animal Cops? Talk about realty TV, that is realty. I love to see the bad guys handcuffed and arrested and then see some of the abused animals get good loving people parents. TV has gotten so bad that is about I watch except for Golden Girls reruns and Fox

I never understood why Springsteen and Dylan were such big draws....neither can sing and their music is both depressive and hyperbolic at best.
