thank you..you couldn't have been more spot on as to the reality..
some here acted like it was just another night out for NY'ers and they were judging which performer they liked better... NY'ers were still soiling their pants this close to 9/11, waiting for another shoe to drop., and were warmed by the notion of 'famous' people coming out of hiding, cos they were.. the big concert, which was in a controlled television studio, happened a bit after this 'turning point' event, perhaps because of the 'green light' provided by this event..
