I just read that the famous Shea Stadium will close down this summer. Billy Joel will be the last artist to play live in the stadium in July this year. The Beatles played here twice, in '65 and '66.
it's not right that they are going to tear it down, it's an historical landmark. i wish that they could have saved it, but in july it will be torn. it's a very nice looking stadium, iv'e seen some recent photos and it looks ok. it will forever live on in the beatles at shea stadium movie. i wish they would officially release that.
I thought the pope was doing mass at Yankee Stadium. It's always Yankee Stadium. Nobody wants to go out to Queens! They're going to rebuild Shea. They did the same thing with Yankee Stadium a while back. They moved locations. I guess Shea is pretty old. I went there a lot as a kid cuz my dad was a huge Mets fan. Can't believe it's gonna be torn up! It's historical! Oh well. We don't value our history over here.
Oh, and I think this pope is German. There hasn't been an Italian pope for a while now!
wherever the pope speaks, i hope they don't don't play john's new york city song. there's a line that may offend him, "sittin on the corner just me and yoko ono, we were waiting for her album to land". lol.
I wonder when they are planning on doing it. I will be in NYC for the last 2 weeks in August.... Would be nice to see it one more time before it goes. I might be too late though if the last show is in July.
