...have to admit, at first the scene at Gillette didn’t provide much more than further proof that a Constitutional ban on white people dancing might be enough to end the recession. It was still light out when we arrived, and while the two performers started the show combining on classics like John’s “Your Song” and Joel’s “My Life,” the crowd—mostly aged middle and beyond—seemed more concerned with finding the bathroom than listening...
