    he stood on an upturned plug in his bare feet...

    its painful apparently.. like the equivalent of childbirth
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    maybe.. but i'd cry more if it was an upturned plug... seriously not even an anvil in the face would match that kinda pain.

    He dedicated it to the son of NBC Bureau chief Tim Russert who died unexpectedly the day prior....

    He did mention at Columbia that it had been a rough couple of days and they were happy to see so many beautiful faces.

    I could have sworn he said a guy in his road crew just recently lost his father

    There is no definate truth in this, at least not to my knowledge.

    He did, however, dedicate it to LUKE who apparently just lost his father. Luke russert is the son of Tim russert so it does make sense.

    but there was no clear mention of who in particular it was, it may have been somebody on the road crew.

    I realized quickly they played it right at midnight, which made it fathers day right whent hey played it. so eddie definately knew what he was doing when he put it late in the set list.

    very, very emotional and I'm not sure if he was crying or not, but you could see his sadness.
    It's all happening....
