As wonderful as the September 23rd, 2017 benefit for global causes big concert was in Central Park, it's especially nice to realize that it went on without major upsets...Now on October 2nd, 2017, our country has heard of a devastating turn of events at a Las Vegas Concert..all be one misguided man in his 60s...
