What people are saying
I came earlier to scout out the place and decided, ‘Well, maybe I should come now,
So, here I am, eight to 10 cars in line and I’m not leaving.
What am I hoping to see? You know, the camaraderie from the crowd, the love from the crowd,
It’s a feeling that’s hard to get anywhere else these days.
