Detroit, 1942

AUBURN HILLS, Mi.----The last time Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band played the Palace of Auburn Hills in 2009 Springsteen made national news with the shout out:
"HELLO OHIO!"

Springsteen returned Thursday night to perform before 16,000 fans in Auburn Hills, a Cadillac of suburbs which is about half way between Flint and Detroit.
It is between a rock and a hard place.

I drove to Detroit from Chicago. I forked over $100 for a nice seat, caught the full tilt 3 1/2 hour no-intermission set where I sat next to Cubs fans from Oak Park, Ill. bought a large cup of Tim Horton's coffee and was home by 4:30 this morning.
It was worth it........
