Mentioned in another thread that Verizon told me today that tonight's HBO is free.

NBC4 made the announcement that HBO is unscrambling their signal tonight for the unwashed masses.

Hey hey hey now be nice to The Boss! Decades of his 3+ hour concerts probably killed his vocal chords but I'd still rather see him perform than anyone else

Mindfact ... I met him in 1974 (or 5) at a radio station in the DC area. He and the band were playing McDonough at Georgetown. I wanna hear "Slim Shady".
