Cincinnati Lifts 25-Year-Old Seating Ban
For Martha :
" CINCINNATI - The city council on Wednesday lifted a nearly 25-year ban on concert general admission seating that was imposed after 11 fans were crushed to death at a performance by the rock group The Who.
The unanimous decision came after council members said some performers were skipping Cincinnati because they could not have general admission seating, often known as festival seating. They said Cincinnati was the only one among the top 50 cities for concert venues that did not allow festival seating.
The fans were killed Dec. 3, 1979, when The Who was preparing for a concert at Riverfront Coliseum, now U.S. Bank Arena. The deaths and dozens of injuries occurred when fans rushed at closed doors during a late sound check because they thought the show had started.
Festival seating appeals to promoters because it is first-come, first-served, allowing the most enthusiastic fans to get near the stage and generate excitement for the rest of the crowd. Some performers and bands insist on a festival seating area near the stage.
A one-time exemption to Cincinnati's ban was granted for a Bruce Springsteen (news) concert in 2002, and no problems resulted.
City officials said the new system will limit the number of tickets for the general admission area based on the square footage of the concert location. Tickets will be sold before the day of the show, and all doors to the festival seating area will have to be opened two hours before the concert.
Ushers and security personnel also will have to be in place before the doors are opened, and a written evacuation plan will be required. "

" Way back when
In Sixty-seven
I was the dandy
Of Gamma Chi
Sweet things from Boston
So young and willing
Moved down to Scarsdale
Where the hell am I
Hey Nineteen
No we can't dance together
No we can't talk at all
Please take me along
When you slide on down
Hey Nineteen
That's 'Retha Franklin
She don't remember
The Queen of Soul
It's hard times befallen
The sole survivors
She thinks I'm crazy
But I'm just growing old
Hey Nineteen
No we got nothing in common
No we can't talk at all
Please take me along
When you slide on down
The Cuervo Gold
The fine Colombian
Make tonight a wonderful thing
No we can't dance together
No we can't talk at all "

My back to the wall
A victim of laughing chance
This is for me
The essence of true romance
Sharing the things we know and love
With those of my kind
Libations
Sensations
That stagger the mind
I crawl like a viper
Through these suburban streets
Make love to these women
Languid and bittersweet
I'll rise when the sun goes down
Cover every game in town
A world of my own
I'll make it my home sweet home
I'll learn to work the saxophone
I'll play just what I feel
Drink Scotch whisky all night long
And die behind the wheel
They got a name for the winners in the world
I want a name when I lose
They call Nebraska the CornHuskers
Call me Joey Blues
Joey Blues ............................

Joey, do you agree that it was the right thing for [insert Israeli flag here; I don't know how to] to bomb that nuclear reactor in Osirak, Iraq, in 1981? |

Yes Mel , .... MUST DO what it has to do in order to protect / defend itself and ensure its survival .
I also admired the way

The Best Thing Reagan EVER did as President was get out of Lebanon in 1984 ( witness his stunning re-election six months later )
