Ticketmaster has a "check back soon" note....

I saw Bruce at the Albert Hall on the Tom Joad tour. Fantastic show. But - word of warning - I was on the floor, and the acoustics were great. In '96, I took my eldest son, who was then seven, to the same venue to see Jackson Browne. We could only get seats high up in the gallery and the sound was really muddy and swirling.




So, anyway...

The Pope is checking out of his hotel in New York.
After getting all of John Paul's luggage loaded into the limo,
(and he doesn't travel light), the driver notices that the Pope is
still standing on the curb.
"Your Holiness," says the driver, "Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Well, to tell you the truth," says the Pope, "they never let me drive
at the Vatican, and I'd really like to drive myself to the airport today."
"I'm sorry but I can't let you do that. I'd lose my job! And what if
something should happen?" protests the driver, wishing he'd never
gone to work that morning.
"There might be something extra in it for you," says the Pope.
Reluctantly, the driver gets in the back as the Pope climbs in behind
the wheel. The driver quickly regrets his decision when, after getting on the Van Wyck, the Pontiff floors it, taking the limo to 100-105-110 mph.
"Please slow down, Your Holiness!!!" pleads the worried driver, but the
Pope keeps the pedal to the metal until they hear sirens.
The Pope pulls over and rolls down the window as the cop approaches,
but the cop takes one look at him, goes back to his motorcycle, and
gets on the radio.
"I need to talk to the Chief," he says to the dispatcher.
The Chief gets on the radio and the cop tells him that he's stopped a
limo going a hundred and five.
"So bust him," says the Chief.
"I don't think we want to do that, he's really important," said the
cop.
The Chief exclaimed," All the more reason!"
"No, I mean really important," said the cop.
The Chief then asked, "Who ya got there, the Mayor?"
Cop: "Bigger."
Chief: "Governor?"
Cop: "Bigger."
"Well," said the Chief, "Who is it?"
Cop: "I think it's God!"
Chief: "What makes you think it's God?"
Cop: "Well, I can't see in the back, but he's got the Pope as a chauffeur."

(There should be more chauffeur jokes. My grandfather was a chauffeur. But he just wore a black cap, though. Not one of these...)
