and famous figures WERE lying low after the attacks, Broadway, pop/rock concerts, 'live' entertainment programs all went dark as the "War On Terror' was being sold around the clock, convinicing people that there was more to come.. if someone can point me to an outdoor event of this nature that happened after 9/11 and before the Shea event, I'd love to be reminded of it.. and yes, people did think that it was brave and possibly dangerous to decide that 'the show must go on' when this did, a major 'back to business' morale builder..
