Harold Prince talking on CSPAN right now.
What did he talk about?? Inquiring (or is it Enquiring?) minds want to know!
I wasn't born when JFK (the President) was shot and I don't remember what specifically I was doing when either of the space shuttles went down.
All I remember about Diana's death was that I really felt a loss. I don't know why. I never really paid much attention to news about her. I really did respect her after she started charity work. The summer after my freshman year in high school (1980), my dad drove my sister and I to visit his sisters in California (both of whom will be visiting in July!) and we watched the wedding at my Aunt Mary Lou's house. Watching ALL of the news of her death was very surreal.
When the two towers (
not a Lord of the Rings reference) were hit, I was living with my sister and she had the news on her radio. She heard the announcement of the first one being hit and turned the TV. I was still asleep but she started yelling, "Oh my God...Oh my God..." and that woke me up. We watched the TV for a couple of hours and I went into work late. Wherever I went that day and over the next few days, everyone was talking about it. A locally produced fundraiser revue that I was going to usher for was cancelled. (And sadly, that theater group eventually folded. This was going to be their last big push for money.) A couple of other shows had been cancelled, also. Things didn't get back to "normal" for quite a while. My ex-boyfriend (we're still good friends) is very sensitive to tragedies and really took it hard. He cried quite a bit that first week after it happened. I don't know why it affected him so deeply...he really didn't either.
