That takes me back...

Watching the DNC delegates dancing around in Invesco Field to "Born in the USA" takes me back. The first rock concert I ever saw was Bruce Springsteen, on the "Born in the USA" tour, at Mile High Stadium, which Invesco replaced a few years ago.

I went with my parents, of all things. We had tickets in the very very top row of the stadium. It was freezing up there. We ended up leaving early because we were so cold. But I got the t-shirt, with Springsteen's butt in jeans with the hat hanging out of the pocket on it. For once, I was almost cool. (Except for the whole going with my parents thing.)

This vignette brought to you by the randomness of my brain.

Is Invesco a different stadium than Mile High or just the same stadium with a corporate name?

It's a different stadium. About the same size, but different stadium. They kept a giant bronco statue in it, though.

And once again the world fails to notice that "Born in the USA" is a deeply acerbic, not-at-all pro-American song.

You're cool! I went to see Springsteen just a few years ago with my parents, and I wasn't cool enough to get the t-shirt. We were also in the very top row, but it was July in the Boston Fleet Center, so we were quite warm.
