I never heard of that summer jam at Watkins Glen. It must have been a good time. Except I hate big crowds and 600,000 is a lot of people. So maybe I would have had a bad time. How have I never heard about this concert before?

I remember when Jimmy Hoffa disappeared. His unusual surname caught my attention at the time and is why it sticks in my mind.
I just had a quick look at Wiki to fill in the gaps. I knew that he was a somewhat 'controversial' character, but talk about a chequered past! No doubt he had acquired more than the usual quota of enemies over the years. Probably entombed in the concrete column of a bridge somewhere.
