The End of an Era
.
So just as I predicted, I'm an emotional wreck right now.
What a wonderful show. Dedicated completely to thanking all the people who worked there over the years to make it one of the best goddamn shows ever produced anywhere.
And the ending... Well, of course, they got Springsteen to close out the thing, and I was already teary, but when he broke out with Born to Run, I just fucking LOST IT. Started crying big time while mouthing the lyrics I've known by heart since I was a shy little teen. It was perfect - Jon introduced Bruce with, "Here it is, my Moment of Zen."
So that's it. First Stephen, now Jon. The end of an era. I know there was a time before TDS existed, but I can't think the future will be anywhere near as bright without Jon's great, wise snark to get us through the nasty sump of this country's insanity, to say nothing of the rest of the world's. I look forward to the next chapter in his conversation with us, but I can't help being sad.
Thanks so much, Mr. Stewart, and bye for now.
