Guess people will have seen the sad news about the seating
collapse at Grapevine, though thankfully it sounds as though
most people are going to be OK. From BBC News, it sounds as
though Delirious were playing:

"I think the devil is at work in lots of places, so it is
important that we do not stop the festival," Mr Cuthbert
said.

"We were waving our arms and jumping around to a Christian
rock group called Delirious... then you could feel the seats
vibrating.

"All of a sudden the seats vanished," said Mr Cuthbert, who
was sitting nearby but not injured.

As I'm currently having a Cutting Edge phase it made me
wonder what they might be playing?

You split the Earth?
When all around has fallen?
Did you feel the seating tremble?
Shaken up?

Seriously though, hope all those caught up in it, however
they may be injured, recover quickly.

Sam, that is a very sick thing to joke about, I don't find that funny
at all. People were seriously hurt in this terrible accident, and
making jokes about it is in really bad taste.

Yes Delirious? were on stage when it happened, and right now they are
probably feeling absolutely terrible about it. It could have been a
lot more serious than it was, but thankfully nobody was critically
injuired. 21 people were treated for cuts and bruises and 4 people
were kept in hospital over night with more serious injuries, such as
fractures.

We should be praying for those injuired, not making jokes about what
happened.

DAVE!!
