Evening Anderson and everyone. Sounds like another busy night

Sup Bloggers! Hopefully today was a good day!

Let's fight to get these two journalists out of North Korea!

Hey, everyone: Anderson, Erica, David Gergen, Eduardo Henri, all at AC360, the Tribe, and all the bloggers!

Happy Birthday, Johnny Depp!

Helloooo Anderson, Erica, Edurrado(Ed Henry) David Gergen and my friends Twitter/Facebook Bloggers!!!!!

I can't believe my eyes N. Korea new threat launchs again, what was he thinking????? That is dangerous reckless assault!!!!! I hope Kim Jong willing to stop it! And Laura Ling and Euna Lee must release right now from prison camp.

Why do you interview murder's and give them air time?

Good evening – glad to be here tonight.

Good evening Anderson!
Hi, friends, David (Indiana), bloggers,
360 team, everyone …

Has Anderson ever been anywhere near the N Korean border?

Good evening Anderson and my fellow evening conversationalists! Hope everyone had a good day.

I'm rather intrigued by the continuation of the North Korea story!

Evening all.......

Heey Y'all! happy cloudy tuesday!

Sheesh, theres alot of drama going on around the world, especially in N. Korea.

evening Anderson and Erica =]

all i can say is: North Korea is CRAZY. 'nuff said. this is ridiculous... i can't wait to find out what happened with Laura and Euna...

The news that the threat of North Korea is to let anyone fearful. What can be done? A decadent country, but with a nuclear power and it think that can do whatever it wants.

Welcome Jim Butterworth to AC360 tonight! I agree with Jim's comment.

Hi Anderson Erica and all. I heard Franklin Graham on Larry King last night and he said that Laura Ling and Una Lee knew waht they were doing. I don't know if that's true. what does everyone else think? Karen

I have great concern over Cash for Clunkers voucher program.

It's a great idea as long as the buyer has the edge. One and foremost is the buyer should not have to let the dealer know he has a voucher of any amount. This keeps the dealer from inflating the price of the purchased vehicle. Second will the government post all the qualifying makes and models publicly and on a government website.

I'm willing to bet that they were "close enough" to the poorly defined border. I really hope that other people out there (like all of those filming Seoultrain) are really, really careful.

Good evening, Anderson, Erica, and bloggers!

North Korea's constant threats are becoming tiresome and seem more than a bit desperate.

Good evening, Anderson, Erica and the rest of the fabulous bloggers.

Big evening full of news. Not good that N. Korea is threatening to use nuclear power. It sounds like an insane idea.

hi all.
The N Korea situation is deteriorating more and more each day. Threatening the use of nuclear weapons upon feeling threatened is truly shocking and frightening.
What countries can the NKoreans actually reach? Is is just S Korea?

Well North Korea is threatening nuclear war; so it must be time for another meaningless UN resolution.

Good Evening!

In this case, I really don't believe that the two journalists are due to there destination. This is very convenient

"Underground Railroad"??? really? first i've heard of it.... but that sounds like a really good idea!!! i was wondering how some of the North Koreans can escape....

Why don't you interview the cameraman, Mitch Koss? He was with the reporters when they were caught.

Good Evening Anderson! Hello all, I'm very interested in the N. Korea story as well.

All of this drama with North Korea is getting scary. Im dreading that they are going to be the next country we go to war with

I am not sure why you guys are even covering this 'story' !!!! I think US has the biggest nuclear plant – if anyone drops the bomb or even does anything wrong in any of the shifts, only the local people will die. Not in Korea, here in 'our own' (Larry King style) soil people will puke and die !!! Which in turn means, freedom for Osama Bin Laden for sometime, but who knows we are quiet capable of keeping the ball going by saying he dropped the bomb !!! I dont think any bomb is needed for these plants, only wrong quantity will surely mess all of us. Dint you guys also cover the leak issue in India? 'Your own' Time magazine covered the leak and around 15,000 people died and the pregnant women and almost all the women who inhaled that gas had handicapped children – well well well, isnt our 21st century 'race' going towards a grand finish line. I think they ned to figure out what is good about this project and what is the bad part. We (not me) have somehow reached the bad part and either we document it so the next generation doesnt venture into it. It is not a mistake that we reached that point, when in 'test phase' we have tripped on it and apparantly all the other countries have followed suite to save their citizens. I am not sure why we are making things that are not worth it and just to keep the competition among the countries? Not worth it – why wear those masks and dress and work in such places? What is the final goal of this project.
I am not sure why guys are covering N. Korea and Iraq...

This scene reminds me of the horror from all over the world. It is hard to think that things like this still happen in our time.

WOW! when and where can I see the documentary??

I cannot read the translations of the story about Seoul because the CNN logo at the bottom right of the screen is blocking it.

Good evening Anderson, Team 360 and Fellow Bloggers –

This video of "Seoul Train" is amazing -
Anderson - wasn't the man you interviewed scared while filming this? It's amazing what some journalists go through to get "the story" out to the rest of the world.

BettyAnn - cograts on winning "Beat 360" last night!

It is necessary that the UN Security Council and Japan to agree on a new resolution to expand sanctions against North Korea due to its nuclear weapons program.

That segment gave me goosebumps. I can't imagine being trapped in a country not just as a prisoner like Euna and Laura but as a citizen.

Hi Anderson, Erica..my smartees..good evening all!

That video was rather disturbing..the child being slammed to the ground was awful!

All of this drama with North Korea is getting scary. Im dreading that they are going to be the next country we go to war with

I sure hope not.

Hi guys. I've seen no news today, so tonight's show should be good.

China will not tolerate N. Korean military or border guards on their land without approval from the Chinese government

I am unclear on the comment just now. Are you implying that these women will be sold as sex slaves? Was this intentional?

I think North Korea is demonstrating that there is a limit to diplomacy. There are some people and countries that just can't be reasoned with.

hi anderson and erica,

thanks for that video of the north Korean refugees fleeing to the Japanese embassy, as disturbing as a video it is, seeing individual stories like this really helps you to realise what these refuges are going through, i live in australia and this makes me realise how lucky i am to live in a free country.

Wow, that video of the North Korean family trying to escape to the Japanese Embassy was terrifying. How horrible for the child and women to be left behind. I don't think the guards should have been pulling them back out, but hey, I don't think playing fair is part of their scheme.

Pretty shocking.

Evening Anderson, Erica, Isabel, everyone.Unbelievable that North Korea is heating up the rhetoric, to what purpose at this time?

That looks incredibly risky try to get through to guards to the Japanese embassy to seek asylum.

Well first of all, Mr. Cooper please keep your reporting fair. I've read the South Koreans regularly encroach on the North Korean borders wherever natural opportunities occur as do the North Koreans themselves.

China needs to step it up. It can't be to their benefit to have NK crazing about. It's all very nervous making because Kim Jong IS nuts. His offspring probably aren't far behind. Ugh.

Anderson,
Hi!
It's alarming how aggressive North Korea has become recently–I hope they will be able to be dealt with in a relatively peaceful way.

Good Evening Anderson Cooper, I think it's amazing what some countries get away with, and little we know what goes on, besides watching interviews on CNN. I give Journalists much credit for risks they take each day.

I can't imagine what Euna and Laura are going through not to mention their families. It has to be so infuriating and frightening just not knowing. I really hope this guy is right in that Euna and Laura wont actually be sent to a labor camp.

Love CNN and Anderson Cooper, but watching the North Korean border portion of tonight's broadcast is difficult. English translations of a foreign language are only helpful if they aren't superimposed by the CNN logo at the bottom of screen. We know what we're watching; would it be a sin to remove the logo for the length of the film?

It's one thing to say North Korea is evil and we are doing whatever to expose them. It's another thing to say North Korea/China border is unclear and North Korean captured those reporters from Chinese side illegally. For example, whoever was just on and talked about his crew crossed the TuMeng River, that's ILLEGAL border crossing. Make the fact correct and the story will be more powerful, at least meaningful.

Isabel, there have been dozens of resolutions and sanctions against North Korea. They haven't been worth the paper they are printed on.

Greeting to All! Thank for showing us more on this story...I feel so bad for all of their loved ones..

@Heather- Iam terrified too! I really do not want this drama with N. Korea to spill over into a war with America...i just hope this drama doesnt lead up to one.

Considering that we now have moved past threatening acts to actual words of unilateral nuclear war from North Korea, is it time to do the unthinkable and utilize first strike capacity, to prevent a nuclear arms race in Asia and keep the North from exploding onto its neighbors we are duty-bound to protect... rather than NK imploding under its own weight as seems likely if we must engage them before waiting for this to happen?

@ Mike, I think North Korea is demonstrating a need to be bought off again. It's what has always happened previously.

The Tumen River which is probably 1,000 miles long is either wide or deep. You cannot just walk across that river.

heartfelt admiration for CNN for persistence in reporting the Lee and Ling story; you will not give up! other networks touch on it, but none with the depth of CNN. wonder if anyone remembers satellite photo of korean continent few yrs ago, north completely dark, south blazing with lights. SYMBOLIC.

Lets look at N. Korea, lets look at a closing abortion clinic because of a mad man who got his way... Good way to divert the attention from a President who said in February that our economy would be crippled and unemployment would rise about 8% if we didn't pass his massive debt roll out... Now he looks like a fool with his comments on his pay-as-you-go program. Is that going to be the case with the Kennedy's Health Care System?

The sentencing of the Laura Ling and Euna Lee worsened even further the relations between North Korea and U.S., at a time when the international community discusses the punishments Pyongyang

Anderson,
Ask your first guest about the bounties that local Yanji police put on the heads of North Korean refugees that are arrested in their city.
I believe this cash reward system gave a certain idea to a certain driver/guide who recently took American reporters to the Tumen River area. (A possible reward from North Korea for the capture of American journalists.)

I need to see "Seoul Train", depressing but necessary. Mike Kim's viewpoint of the possibility of Ling and Lee not being in the labor camps is refreshing, that's the kind of experience and rationale I needed to hear. Kim and Butterworth are doing brilliant work! Kudos to both of you!

I forgot – Anderson said he had never been to China – but wants to visit one day.

Good evening Anderson-
Everything going on in North Korea is so scary. The video you just showed is amazing. I've learned so much about N. Korea from watching your show. Unreal!

Laura Ling and Euna Lee are going to become bargaining chips. The question is, what will the US pay for their return? NK wans a diplomatic coup, perhaps an economic payday. hey will be released, but if the US doesn't move quickly, they may not be in the best shape.

Very scary to see this video documentary, I have never see this video documentary!!!!!

Congrats BettyAnnTX for beat 360 last night!!!! Yay!

honestly right now, I wish Kim's oldest son would rule the country, he seems to be laid back enough to make at least some sense...either that or I am really scared something is going to happen and the West Coast will be the first...

Call me parianiod American but, it seems like North Korea is an arms saler trying to show thier customers the value of thier product. Blow up a mountian or two and some fool will buy thier produce. They need money!

P.S. Not that they SHOULD be bought off. I just think that is what they are expecting.

Hello Anderson and crew and all bloggers. There is so much on our plate to deal with worldwide. The Obama administration has their hands full. North Korea and Iran are huge worries not to mention Afghanistan. I hope North Korea will negotiate the release of the journalists. It's all pretty scary.

This is a technical/production comment. Would it be possible for stations using subtitles to lose or move the station logo, enabling us to read the subtitles? You aren't the only ones and it's aggravating!

So this threat that Anderson reported – is it really a new threat? I haven't heard much about it yet.

I would love to hear from a Chinese government official with this story.

I wonder what the two reporters were actually doing at the border.

A slutty flight attendant is not necessarily a bad thing... Ok, yes it is.

greetings all,
I am getting very nervous about N.Korea . Scary times.
In my opinion the two journalists were careless , what reasons justify
they're presence there? The real issue is nuclear weapons. They should not be considered the same or equal in importance

North Korea freaks me out. At least that is how I feel after watching Christianne Amanpour's documentary last week, which was excellent, BTW.

Good evening Anderson. N. Korea's labor camps sound like nazi concentration camps. I pray for the safety and well being of Laura Ling and Euna Lee and hope they will be released soon.

Has anyone interviewed the tour guide and camerman that escaped?

It's a tough situation. What leverage do we have with North Korea? And now they're holding two American journalists.

@ Mike, Syracuse-And yet, no countries have engaged with an all-out war with them...so something is working.

Our government needs to get someone to North Korea immediately to help these two reporters. Twelve years hard labor is deplorable! How will they ever survive. I don't have the answer but there has to be something that can be done. My heart aches for them and their families. I will pray for strength for them all.

@Karen C, maybe we can buy them off but it makes a mockery of our history and will never stop. Recall the statement regarding the Barbary Pirates in the early 1800's: "Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute."

Why are you giving this man a forum???

Anderson - great interview with the two men about what's happening at the NKorea border and the "refugees" from North Korea - thanks for airing this - it's what I love most about 360 - authentic reporting you don't see on other networks. Thanks, 360.

North Korea will probably use the two reporters to force the U.S into direct negotiations. North Korea does have the most brutal prisons putting whole families into prison because of one relative questioning the regime. However the two reporters will be kept in good condition for them to get the U.S into talks. As for the nukes North Korea won't use them, just keep the whole world in suspense.

Isabel:
Unfortunately, sanctions only hurt the ppl of the nation to be punished, not the regime.

Im just wondering why, since that river is not really considered to be N Korea territory, why then they captured and imprisoned Lee and Ling saying that they trespassed on their territory

As bad as I feel for the 2 reporters, they were Illegally in North Korea. Since they were Illegally there, they do have to face the laws of the land.

Maybe American will take Criminal actions such as Illegal Immigration Entry and Laws.

In the end, it would soften the blow of American being Illegals when they commit crimes of Illegal Entry because they know it is taken seriously.

But we here pretend that Illegal Entry isn't serious so the reporters probably didn't think it was as serious either, but it is a main problem for National Security that has to be enforced.

God Bless those reporters.

Anderson Have you tried to contact Lisa Ling for a interview regarding what has happen. My heart aches for her and her family.

You are spending TOO MUCH time on North Korea. It is members of the media that have added to the crisis by recklessly entering North Korean territory. These two journalists bear a lot of the responsibiilty for this latest crisis and by their irresponsible action have put the U.S. government in an impossible situation. All the publicity gives the regime exactly what it wants. Back off, Anderson.

Anderson – what is the power structure in North Korea? It's really run by the military right?

@ Rikki!

The would never be sent to the common prison. The DPRK does not want the world to know their secrets. I suspect the journalists will be traded for something the DPRK wants.

The US and Japan want to maintain strong sanctions to punish North Korea for nuclear test, but China and Russia reluctant to provoke Pyongyang with the imposition of more sanctions. I particularly also have strong fear such sanctions, although find it necessary

Good evening Anderson and fellow bloggers,

Does anyone out there feel that Al Gore "should" be one of the negotiators? After all, it is his media venture that landed these two beautiful ladies in this predicament in the first place. My thoughts are prayers are with them and their families, because, as we all know, North Korea is unstable.

Oh, my question was answered as soon as I clicked submit!

What Mike Kim added after the topic of bounties was addressed supports my theory that the Current TV crew was misled by that Korean-Chinese guide who tipped off the North Koreans in exchange for a big bounty.

Nice to see commenter Margaret Gracie asking for a Mitch Koss interview. Good luck!

So. Korea pays for No. Koreans to come there. There is a camp south of Seoul where they try to learn to fit into the South. It is very very hard. They have absolutely no idea of how things are in a very fast paced country. Unfortunately, most don't realy learn to fit in, and end up in low paying jobs. There is a great amount of despair in the refugees, and some even want to go back to the North.

Hi Anderson! You asked on Facebook if people remembered their first concert. Mine was the Rolling Stones when they first came to America. It was held at the New Haven Arena (non existent now) in New Haven CT. What was yours?

The camps we are seeing in N. Korea are just like the concentration camps of Hitler and the Nazis. It is archaic and rediculous.

hi, everyone. i found those first two blocks fascinating - details we rarely get to hear.

Wow – a Toni Braxton impersonator! I never knew there was such a thing. lol

Keep those Reporters and all service members (past and present) in our prayers.

Anderson: I've read reports that Kim Jong-Il's sons are viewed as unstable/not suitable/not ready for leadership. What do your guests think of how North Korea's (lack of a?) succession plan for Kim will impact situations like this current hostage crisis, and longer-term, nuclear provocation in the region?

@Esma, only because it hasn't gotten that far yet. The time will come where we either accept a nuclear armed Korea, or take military action to prevent it. Time for Mr. Teleprompter to step up.

Hi Erica, Interesting show tonight. Great details.

@Esma; because the leader of North Korea is brilliant. No one wants to mess with them because they know he can do something incredibly skilled in return.

@ Erica

The show today is really fascinating... It's great, as usual!

You all are great!

Good Evening Erica. Good Story. Is it possible for us to hear from a Chinese government official regarding the N. Koreans entering their country illegally?

@Isabel, I'm sure that it would be nearly blasphemous to call the North Korean government decadent within the borders of that country, but politically they are, as you say, decadent, doing whatever they please.

Those prison camps are an outrage, absolutely. It is good that refugees from N. Korea can go to China, but clearly given what Jim Butterworth is saying about North Korean agents in China to capture those seeking refuge there, the North Koreans are violating their border with China.

I seem to recall a report about the capture of Laura Ling and Una Lee stating that their camera man and the producer were able to get away. Could these men not shed more light on exactly what took place?

As bad as I feel for the 2 reporters, they were Illegally in North Korea. Since they were Illegally there, they do have to face the laws of the land.

Maybe American will take Criminal actions such as Illegal Immigration Entry and Laws.

In the end, it would soften the blow of American being Illegals when they commit crimes of Illegal Entry because they know it is taken seriously.

But we here pretend that Illegal Entry isn’t serious so the reporters probably didn’t think it was as serious either, but it is a main problem for National Security that has to be enforced.

God Bless those reporters.

"Wild, this is one crazy night!"

What does North Korea need money for? It's not like they take care of their people. To strengthen their nuclear program I'm sure.

Question to anyone – didn't christiane ahmanpour go to north korea to cover the symphony? what is her take on this. and what happened in the interim to change relationships between our two countries.

@ Karen C - I agree with you that you think N Korea is hoping to be "bought off" - their economy is in a shambles, their people are starving - and now there is a transfer of power happening within their country. Kim Jong-il needs to show that he is still in power.

@ Heather – Spokane, WA

The Tumen River is half DPRK and half China. It is the dividing line.

@Miss J-Thats so true! usually you would hear about Paris Hilton impersonators, but Toni Braxton? never in a million years!!

Hello Anderson and Erica bloggers

How could they not tell it wasn't Toni Braxton ? When she sang of course i mean really .

Very scary. This might cause others to kill in order to close clinics.

Yes, send letters of encouragement to a mentally ill person who killed a doctor...the ends justify the means...what a world.

Erica,
My heart goes to victim's families at plant causes explosion, love lost ones!!!!! Do you know what cause explosion at plant company?

What a weirdo to think that murder justified anything Jesus would do.

I think that N. Korea is going to use those women as pawns for whatever reason they can. Their care will probably depend on how valuable they will be to them. They will keep them fearful of what could happen to them though. It is going to be harder on Ling with her ulcer.

Anderson, Doesn't N. Korea have to prove to the World that their claim is legitimate. They have soverienty within their country but not so outside their country. They should be made to prove their claim against the reporters to a world court.

How scary is it that a killer is getting letters of encouragement in prison? Its sounds like encouragement to go out and kill more people

Is it possible that he will get the death penalty for killing Dr Tiller?

That video of the family trying to escape is chilling! I can't even begin to imagine what others around the world are sacrificing for freedom. The task is enormous but I feel helpless just sitting here and listening to this! Let's hope the US does everything in its power to free these journalists and reunite them with their family.

North Korea is far too dangerous especially now with threats of Nuclear weapons being aiming at the world What does this mean for North America ?

Rikki

Isn't that an oxymoron.. Whereby someone who believes strongly in life kills someone!!

@ Erica - I agree - it's what I really enjoy about AC360.

re. the man accused of killing Dr. Tiller - So the murderer wins? Hope this doesn't empower other extremists to take similar action.

Had anyone considered using Gitmo to incarcerate the anti-abortion crowd? Hey, a terrorist is a terrorist, right?

I understand South Korea is now hosting tours to the NK border.

The mindset of Tiller's killer is easy to understand; kill one to save thousands. I'm sure he's a hero to some.

if the murderer of Dr Tiller is diagnosed schizophrenic, there is nothing, unfortunately that can be done. Their reality is not ours, and i say this with the greatest compassion for schizophrenics. in his mind, the UNBORN truly need to be protected and he will be their savior.

It makes me sad that people are considering this guy a hero. I'm not condoning what Dr. Tiller did for a living and I'm not saying that its right or its wrong. But I find it very sad that this guys is being considered a hero for taking the life of another person in a house of God, in front of his wife and Pastor and fellow parishioners who just thought they were going to worship that morning...even if they consider Dr. Tiller an evil person and think of what he did as wrong...Two wrongs do not make a right.

The girls that got caught are obviously spies for the U.S. government. They should be glad they wasn't executed.
Countries rarely go to war over the capture of spies.

This Jesus justification is just as bad as saying it's against your religion to do homework.

Im not a big Bill Oreilly fan but flipping through chanells tonight he said something that almost made sense. "Just give the north korean generals 20 million dollars to get rid of their big bad boss"

The mudersous plot of this man to kill this doctoir this guy put religion in the wrong sentece He has no vconcept of what it means .He is a hypcrite .

It doesn't surprise me that he would get letters. People even sent (nice) letters to Scott Peterson. We don't have a shortage of weirdos here.

Very good coverage on N. Korea with those two guests tonight.

Shame on CNN and 360 for giving an audience to the man who killed Dr. Tiller in cold blood.

@ Jackie

Yes, that is exactly what I think!

There would seem to be a difference between being pro choice and actually performing late term abortions on viable fetuses.

This morning, I watch newsroom was breaking news, Suspect interview Ted Rowlands, I was suprised he admitted to kill Dr. Tiller in the prison.. That is very distrubing to hear what he have said.

How does the government of N Korea work ? Kim Jong Il is the so-called-head-of -state, but does he hold a monopoly on the power there? He's very old, and had a stroke. They don't seem to have a concrete plan who is going to succeed him...seems like N Korea is getting really nervous about their future and that's why they are so aggressive.

@Dodie – California – good point, but let us hope not.

Shame on CNN and AC 360 for giving Dr. Tiller's murderer a forum to spew his hatred.

Roeder is a scumbag, but so is the Muslim who killed Private Long, where is the coverage of that murder? He is even calling the MSM to talk.

He is bragging just as much about his horrific act as Roeder is. Why isn't it getting the same amount of coverage on 360?

@ David, Indiana

I agree with you! It is a blaspheme blasphemous to call the North Korean government decadent within the borders of that country ... I just whisper it here

I'm glad 360 educates us all about what a late-term-abortion actually is. I didn't know before I saw Anderson's interviews last week. Good job!

Why has no one blamed the US Liberal Democrat administration? An atomic test and the arest of two journalist would never occurred under the previous administration.

@ Jasmine (lol) that is a good point!

The respect for the life of each human being, from its beginning until its natural end, must be defended.

Why cant the state department ask the Chinese to ask N.Korean officials to deport the journalists from usa?

I believe the Chinese have influence over N. Korea as they are trading partners and also have knowledge of N.Korean people operating on their land as bounty hunters.

Kin Jong has become a threat to others and I believe that action should be taken to overthrow him immediately.

This doctor isn't helping his case. He ignores the fact that many of these late term abortions are not medically necessary, but are elective. I think Anderson quoted a figure of 80% being elective on a previous show.

North Korea deosn't have srtong leadership and they are bullies and running scared they are using any situation to thier gain.

Had enough of the anti-choice terrorist now. Why are you giving him a microphone to make his case? Since when do murderers in custody get apparently unlimited access to a public platform? You are feeding this as surely as the haters.

Now there is speculation that the plane may have cracked due to a sudden change of speed. Will be? Is danger to the others aircrafts?

joining late, goodevening everyone, especially my smartees!!!

i dont like late term abortion unless it is endangering the life of the mother. the fetus is too developed at that point.

so close the clinic, i think is ok.

Don't you wonder what the rest of 2009 will bring.

OK, now even I'm getting tired of Sarah Palin. Bring back Octomom.

The current administration must be careful and appear to be very strong or we will send a message to Iran that the USA is week. Do not be fulled, IRAN is watching this administrations actions.

I'm not a big Bill Oreilly fan but flipping through the chanells tonight he said something that almost made sense "Just give the North Korean generals 20 million dollars to get rid of their big bad boss"

Roeder is not a hero and Tiller is not a martyr. Both men are killers. One of them killed innocent babies.

I dont remember Jesus telling everyone to kill everyone else, especially in a church

Bothers me when people cross reference N Korean camps with Nazi Camps until you actually know someone that has been in one of those camps you cant imagine the horrors that were done to them or what they faced in those camps.What deperate people will do to escape the camps. Its easy to say it looks like, sounds like but i pray for those 2 girls, People that enter those camps never come out the same if at all. No matter what they did they dont deserve the treatment that is to follow if they are sent to one of those camps. Kim Jong-ill is still at war with S Korea the original treaty was never signed so yes they would cross the border to abduct people back. It is not beyond his paranoia to use these 2 girls as pawns to gain whatever he wants. Our governement has to step in and do something or there is no hope

@Anderson Would you ever get a buzz cut like Stephen Colbert?

Not a big fan of Dr. Leroy. The least he could have done was answer Anderson's question regarding late-term abortion. He seemed less concerned with the death of Dr. Tiller and domestic acts of terror than with the promotion of late-term abortion practices, at least in my opinion.

Why can't something be done with this man?

Tiler's killer- getting fan mail- Yuck- how disgusting!

Sort of an ironic situatiion we are in where we, the American people, are so much in debt to China So what can we offer China for the release of to American reporters? We will be held prisoers by China just by the money we owe them!! i have never seen our world in such bad shape as it is now!

Why shouldn't North Korea have Nuclear weapons? What give the U.S. the right to tell them they cannot have nuclear weapons? Because there leader is unstable? Was Bush stable when he invaded Iraq?
When will the U.S. stop trying to be the moral police for the world? They have no right opposing their brand of Utopia on other countries. Where is Russia, France and England?

Roeder clearly is mentally ill in some ways, but he clearly knows what he did. No matter how he justifies it, what he did is not justified in any way.

I'm so sad for the loss of Dr. Tiller and the closing of his clinic.

I do not think the Chinese government wants to get involved in our dispute with the DPRK

How can pro-life movement prove their point by taking a life by means of murder ? it does not make sense

@Erica and Lori from IL I agree, that was a very enlightening discussion about goings on on the North Korean China border.

@Isabel I feel the situationn with Laura Ling and Euna Lee maybe complicates dealing with North Korean nuclear misconduct, but North Korea has been constantly pursuing nuclear technology.

I'm glad to hear the way is cleared for the Chrysler Fiat merging. Hopefully this combined company will regain profitability soon enough to reimburse the pension funds and others who brought the Supreme Court challenge.

@BettyAnn I agree Kim Jong should be overthrown right now he is not right mind he is sick from stroke .

Thank you so much for referring to a doctor who provides abortions or an abortion provider, as opposed to an abortion doctor. The former are far better choices and less inflammatory than the latter.

@Megan Dressler – authorities still don't know what caused the explosion nor the blast's exact location

I hope the gentlemen you are interviewing is right, that this is a "turning point" in the late-term abortion issue under very certain situations. Time the pro-choicers were more vocal. While I am definitely not pro-abortion, I am definitely pro-choice. I believe the decision is best left to the woman, her spouse/family and her doctor.

It is through ignorance that these women are being judged - unless you know ALL the specifics of the circumstances under which the choice was made - (and unless you are the individual, her spouse/family or doctor - I'm guessing you don't) it's not fair to judge someone's legal decision.

Why allow this unbalanced guy to "explain" himself. He is obviously mentally ill and a menace to society. There may be others like him who will want to continue his madness.

Not that I wouldn't love to see KJ taken out, but it's more complicated than that. I would sure like to hear from the countries nearer NKorea. Unless, their test a few weeks ago was an elaborage farce, they do not have long range capabilities to hit at us, but they could sure probably reach Japan or South Korea. Then again, he well knows that such an action would probably eradicate *any* sympathy towards them from pretty much, if not every country and open the door to fast retaliation. It's lovely to think there is some easy answer, but there is not. And the journalists definitely threw a monkey wrench into *everything* by getting themselves captured.

evening everyone... sorry im late.

I believe that Fox news promotes hatred and they they are partially to blame for Dr Tiller's death and god forbid could cause an attempt at President Obama, they show him no respect. How can they call themselves a news station.

I can't say i agree with the murder of the doctor, but I am glad he is not able to perform any more abortions. The guest doctor you had on the show seems very unfeeling about the muder taking place on each of these unborn babies.

That was an incredible story...Amazing strength that guy had on the plane that day.

I do pray that they continue to find clues on flight 447 and will one day know what brought it down.

41 bodies were found. Every day follow this news is very suffered!

No one ever takes a stand regarding late term abortion they don't want to admit what this is murder and they are commiting it

Erica, if you think the details of the first 2 blocks were fascinating, just wait until we finally hear the details about what really happened on the morning of March 17.
My theory; Laura, Euna, and Mitch Koss were ready to depart Yanji and proceed to Dandong when their driver/guide decided to take the scenic route and show them the Tumen River.
This guide is likely responsible for taking the Americans somewhere where they had originally not intended to go. Yet it was not on a whim, instead I believe the local guide set up a trap in exchange for a cash reward from North Koreans.
This may be why Current TV (Mitch Koss) can not talk about the embarassing details of what happened on March 17.

People should watch a video of a partial birth abortion and then make their decision. Unless one actualy SEES one you have NO idea how horrible it is.

Good Job Anderson!

You just put abortion and MLK in the same program.

MLK is a reference to MOLECH.

"Molech (god of the Canaanites and Phoenicians to whom parents sacrificed their children)"

Good Job!

Thanks for the subliminals Mr. CIA Operative!

We must be honest, the current problems are the direct result of the Americans voting for a vastly different style of Gov't. Iran is a problem because Carter and North Korea is a problem of Trueman, both Democrats. Now we are to trust a new Democrat to deal with Iran and North Korea, G-d help us!

Hi Anderson,
Very interesting information from Tom Foreman...great report.

This guy Roeder is as nutty as a fruitcake. To think otherwise, the person doing that thinking is also nutz. This man needs to be tried and quickly executed or this type of insanity will continue. By the way, if he is considered sane, then he can be executed, RIGHT?

oh my gosh!!!!! it is very disaster!!!!! it can be hit plane cause lighting or can be break the plane..... My heart goes to victim's families in Paris, France, including France President. Thanks Tom for give me up date!

He is nothing more than a killer without conscience or remorse. He is where he belongs.

This guy waving the graphics of the tail and the aircraft parts and the sight lines from the beacons is just about silly.

I think its going to take a very long time to find out what happened on the Air France flight. I wouldnt be surprised if it takes a year or so

I can't see how it is in China's interest to allow a nuclear armed North Korea on their border.

@ Mike, Syracuse–Can we have Palin and the Octomom in an Annoy-Off?

Wild, look at that, and I thought Tom only did "Dear President" letters.

evening everyone… sorry im late.

'late' is in the eyes of the beholder

woah, what a riveting account of the hudson crash!

Just an updtae: You just mentioned 28 bodies from the Air France flight found, but the press in Brazil is informing 41 bodies found already.

The United States is not feared in the world today. The leaders of these aggressive regimes( North Korea and Iran do not respect our leader or our country.
They aren't going to be deterred by anything we do.

sure hope they find the black box to gather more info - the sensory theory is quite interesting

Wonder how long this investigation of the plane crash will take since there are so many clues that need to be put together. It is fascinating to see all of the parts that it takes to figure out the cause of a plane crash.

With the sale of chrysler to fiat they can save jobs and rebound from the brink of going under .I am losing my job and there is no hope for me in bailouts or restructuring .

Why don't US of A go into N. Korea as they did in Iraq ?

Isn;t there a chance terrorists can take refuge there or is it that N.Korea do not have OIL ?

Are the evidence that the investigators found from crash site good enough to identify what caused the plane to crash?

It's a shame that Dr. Carhart isn't a better interview subject. I'm sure he's a perfectly capable clinician, but he doesn't come across well at all.

I'm sure Roeder is getting lots of mail in support. I don't doubt it at all. The anti-choice people are a big group and are pretty vocal. Of course, I realize that he's not supported by ALL the anti-choice people, but plenty of them are happy that Dr. Tiller is dead.

North Korea needs immediate nuclear bombing by the US. If the US continues to let this blister swell without taking tough action, we will pay dearly. For the world to be politically TOO NICE to the world is not the way to cure the world's problems!

Just looking at the Dr.'s killer gives me the creeps. He doesn't look like a nice guy. It's people who spew hatred that cause people like this guy to pull the trigger. I wonder what this will do to public opinion with regards to women's rights to choose. I already think that it's not the govt's business with what impacts the rest of my life. Reasonable women always do what's right for them.

Billy Campbell is our hero!!!!! I am glad he saved our people on the plane when it dived in the Hudson River. That is so amazing!!

@Chris Sosa, I agree with you. When he was on a previous show, he was also very evasive as to what percentage were elective vs. medically required.

Evening Anderson,

Kudos to you for all your hard work. You're one of the few in journalism that will go above and beyond to get the story to us.

I believe that judgement against legal late-term abortion under very specific circumstances to be similar to judgement against gays and lesbians - is often made out of ignorance.

Abortion, Why would someone be pro abortion and against the death penalty? How does an unborn child have no rights and a mass murder, rapist have more rights.

Have they found the black box recrding to prove it was electircal storm or any act of terrorism? for palne crash ?

@Esma "Can we have Palin and the Octomom in an Annoy-Off?"

Throw in Nancy Pelosi and it's a deal.

I hope the gentlemen you are interviewing is right, that this is a “turning point” in the late-term abortion issue under very certain situations. Time the pro-choicers were more vocal. While I am definitely not pro-abortion, I am definitely pro-choice. I believe the decision is best left to the woman, her spouse/family and her doctor.

What a shame. I love Acapulco.

I do not believe in murder. The murder of unborn children is unholy.
If a Woman does not want to have a baby then do not conceive. Are we so out of control that we can't deal with our own consequences,

It is revolting and discusting to hear a doctor, who has promised to do no harm, adamently be a proponent of late term abortion. While the murder of Dr. Tiller was horrible and my sympathy goes out to his family, calling him a martyr is outrageous (unless he is a martyr for the devil). The unconscienable killing of preborn babies, given the gift of life by God, is blasphemy. Tomorrow, I will be participating in a prayer vigil at an abortion clinic, pleading on God's mercy to end abortion in our country

My heart goes out to the girls in Korea ,I hope they get them out.Great show tonight .Hi to Anderson and Erica and everyone at CNN

If Drs. try and save a one lib. 8 oz baby as in the case of the octoplets, it's hard to justify late term abortions. It really isn't weather it's a child, but boils down to if it is really wanted!

Our market benefitted notably from the shift of "spring breakers" canceling their plans to go to Mexico, due to the reports of the drug wars. These further crimes in Acapulco will, no doubt, continue to benefit our market. Mexico seriously needs to get their act together.

Yeah I'm not sure you could pay me to go to Mexico at the moment...Though I'm not sure I would have gone even before the drug wars erupted with such fury...

I would love to beable to contact the Doctor you just interviewed so I can offer my support & a financial contribution. These idiots like goofy Roeder must be eliminated..............

Billy Campbell is hero of the yeare for being so brave and saving all those people !

How will N. Korea nuclear threat affect the us.

oh, yes, the drug war....kinda vanished from the news thanks to the "threat to all humanity" swine flu....

Please don't forget about the historic flooding that hit Iowa this week last year. Cedar Rapids was devastated when the Cedar River, which divides the city, crested at 31.1 ft. 19.2 ft above flood level. 14% of the city was underwater. More than 7,300 homes and businesses damaged or destoyed by the flood. Fema has declared this to be the 5th largest disaster in US state history, behind Katrina in LA, 9/11, and Katrina in MS. Estimated damage – 5.4 billion

Federal, State, Local, Insurance Dollars Received To Date $314,010,625
GAP: Funds Needed Less Funds Received $5,429,676,241

I used to love to go to Mexico. You don't know who to trust anymore. I doubt I will be going back.

I am an atheist and pro-choice, but I do NOT feel sorry for Dr. Tiller. I don't support the murder of course, but I just don't care for people like him.
What he did is supposed to be against the law. These 3rd trimester abortions are reserved only for cases where there is danger to the mother's health. How did he define danger? If there is immediate danger to the mother it is considered an emergency and any ER would do it . To end up n his clinic, women must have had other reasons.
Women should make up their minds what they want to do before that 3rd trimester. Genetic abnomalities are diagnosed much earlier and there is plenty of time before the beginning of the 7th month to abort the fetus. I am sorry, but 7th month "abortion" is not an abortion at all.

Yikes... Acapulco ? That is a tourist paradise for many years.

The southern California tourist economy will continue to benefit in an economically notable way as long as Mexico can't get control over their drug wars.

Mexico is slowly getting worse. Its sad that something like that is happening just next door to us

It's time to close the border with Mexico. It will stop the flow of guns south and the flow of drugs and illegals north. Station troops along the border.

Okay, I thought I was pretty brave, but I don't think I'll be going to Mexico on vacation this year. I tend to travel alone and I'm thinking that might not be a wise choice at this time.

What was that dramatic flash before Anderson said boldly "Make no mistake. This is a war being fought next door"

Dr. Carhart is right. The media have caved in to a vocal minority, and are afraid to attempt discussion of the subject. Even though it is legal. Even though our country is founded on the rule of law, as well as voting and self-determination. All of us who have had abortions, for whatever reason, need to speak up. There are millions of us, we are not criminals. We should not have to hide in fear. Please search for my essay on This I Believe.

Unions part#2- Support the Democrat party, advertisements, soft money and Hard money. They are married and have an unbreakable union.

Good evening Anderson & entire 360 team.
Good evening fellow bloggers, sorry i am so late! I will have watch next hour to see everything i have missed.

I am glad that you are still following Mexican drug issue,I was wondering if the drug issue would spread to the vacation spots. It is very sad for Mexican tourism.

I feel so bad for Mexico: if it's not government corruption, it's cartels or Swine Flu, but I'm sure Lou Dobbs is still bitter and ready to build a wall.

It is amazing the power of drug ... how many guns!

Scary that Mexico is actually getting worse. In fact the cartels are moving up North and Washington state is becoming a transport state for canada

Sorry but Dr. Tiller was practicing legally.

Boby I hold the same beliefs as you, but if the Doctor was doing something against the law, I am sure he would have been arrested a long time ago.

Here's some breaking news I just saw:

Texas Gov. Perry was taken to a hospital in Austin because he broke his collarbone during a mountain biking accident.

"It’s time to close the border with Mexico."

Mexico, specifically Tijuana, provides a huge amount of quality, affordable medical services for Americans who can't otherwise afford similar services in the U.S.

Airbus must do a massive overhaul in all aircrafts it makes. There have been too many accidents with airbuses- and, sadly, too often.

Cities very nice delivered to crime and drug cartels … this is so sad

Harold NC- North Korea can strike Alaksa and possiblty California. In addition, they need money are in the process of selling technology to Iran and Syria. These are direct threats to the USA and our allies.

Good evening anderson!

Not sure anywhere in Mexico is safe right now –

Fake veteran story is shocking - looking forward to Joe Johns complete report tomorrow night.

Anderson – please stop using the touch screen system that was just on for the Air France crash coverage. The technology does not add to the coverage, is distracting and is an attempt to make the coverage look technical. Just interview an aviation expert. Using an arm wave to sink the CVR to the ocean bottom is silly.

Pretending to be a veteran? Thats incredibly disrespectful to the men and women who are now and have in the past sacrificed and risked their lives for our freedom.

Sarah Palin is calling Letterman pathetic because she is herself and can't take a joke.

Good night all. May God bless and keep~

Yeah, using a taser on a 72 year-old woman makes a real man out of you. Way to go officer. Let me guess, she was hopped up on PCP, right?

Anderson,
I didn't know that murderers of innocent people deserved to have their "side" known. Your story on the killer of Dr. Tiller was disgusting. Whether late term abortions are right or wrong is besides the point when talking about the senselessness that led to Tiller's assassination. You should be ashamed.

Love your show. I am a news junky and watch CNN every chance I get. I would like a T-Shirt of your show though. You are brilliant. Thanks
Sully

Mike Kim's story about someone working for him being released from detention in North Korea does give me some hope that Laura Ling and Euna Lee have a chance to also be released.

Scott Roeder innocent until proven guilty should not be glossing over Dr. Tiller's murder. Having said that, he really should not be speaking to the media. If he does have mental health problems as your reports last week indicated Anderson, he's probably not ready to handle making statements to the press without compromising his own case.

Acapulco is a beautiful city, it's sad that violence from the drug cartels is spilling over into such a pleasurable resort.

As an official member of the Colbert Nation I am glad to say Stephen Colbert did a national service in entertaining the troops.

Mexico, specifically Tijuana, provides a huge amount of quality, affordable medical services for Americans who can’t otherwise afford similar services in the U.S.

True – Mexico provides a ton of services/products to the US (other than drugs). I don't understand how people say "close the border" as if we can just cut off all business with Mexico.

The War on Drugs will never be won! Better to legalize, regulate, & SAVE LIVES!!! Prohibition is the cause of the violence! Fighting over drugs kills too many people – is it worth it?

I think Palin is the pathetic one. At least Letterman isnt trying to get media attention all the time

Easy solution to the fake vet; draft him and send him to Afghanistan for a year. Then he'll be legit.

360 Rocks! Also, I am super psyched you are doing another money & mainstreet. There is tons of great information there.

Sorry, Sarah - but I thought Dave's Top Ten List last night was hilarious!

well perhaps sarah palin should just go for her own reality show – then she could set that awful, terrible media straight for once and for all!

I don't believe it! They have to have some real rules about the tazers!

Admittedly the woman was not behaving well, but the tazer could have given her a heart attack.

Someone needs to tell Sarah Palin to not try to take on comedians–it will definitely backfire. She needs a little humble pie and needs to learn how to laugh at herself.

The waving goat is so cute!

My first concert was Elton John at Pine Knob, now DTE in Clarkston. I was 17 – it was great! Philadelphia Freedom was so awesome.
Hey, I like Peter,Paul & Mary. Very cool.

Love the "waiving goat" - thanks for putting a smile on my face after this night of very grim news.

My first concert was the Rock in Rio, in 1985. Rock in Rio was a festival and I saw Queen, Iron Maiden, Whitesnake … It was unforgettable for me!

Ok – I actually have to go with Sarah Palin on this one. That wasn't necessary from Letterman – altho – late night hosts don't seem to always go with what's necessary.

USA needs to encourage Mexico to reform there country and become more capitalist and less socialist. People need Jobs and opportunities, provided by the private un corrupt sector and not the corrupt gov't.

Dare I say...my first concert was The Village People and I was dressed like David Hodo–people stopped and did double takes as I walked aorund before it started. (What was I thinking?)

Mine was N'SYNC! Yes..boy bands in HS was the greatest! yea, SO? lol

Anout that time –

Great Show tonight Anderson and Team 360. Really interesting stories and a few laughs to keep us all from crying.

Enjoyed the chat tonight, Fellow Bloggers.

Until tomorrow night .... peace to all.

Are you still doing the first concert thing? Mine was the Stray Cats, with my Dad. It was awesome. They opened with a really amazing acapella group.

Yikes! I didn't hear first concert. I saw America with some turkey from high school that I didn't like. I couldn't wait for the night to be over!

BTW, My first concert was Billy Joel, He got up on his piano and was dancing around, super cool.

Like I said on Twitter, my first concert was a little-known hair-metal band (Whitecross) when I was four months old. I'm told I learned to bang my head before I learned to talk. Imagine my parents confusion when Michael Jackson later became my favorite artist.

I'm going to see PJ Harvey this weekend to further erase all of the bad concerts I went to when I was younger...my mother dragged me to Yanni once...I'm still recovering. *twitch twitch*

Goodnight, everyone!!!

my first concert was The Monkees back in the early 80's...i was really little lol but i still kinda remember it cause i love them still!! after that my first real concert was Coal Chamber in like 2000

Barry Manilow at age 4. Next one wasn't until I was 12...Debbie Gibson!

My first concert was Selena when I was around 3, I still want to be her. My most recent concert was 50 Cent and Eminem, I was 15 at the time and my mom took me. It was HILARIOUS seeing my mom dancing when Lil' John started singing "to the window...to the wall!"

Good night everyone! It has been a lot of fun with you all tonight!

I got a last minute ticket to a concert for a band I only knew one song of. I went with some girls, who I don't recall, because I was overwhelmed by the smell of sweet smoke and the wild man dancing of Midnight Oil's lead singer. What a freak of a cool man!!

I took in a much mellower Crowded House next, but U2 will always rock my world

While it is terrible the trouble thier in. They should have followed the laws on entry. The U.S. is the most lienient country on illegals. Hope we can get them out of this trouble.

Have to say it again, first concert was at a coffee shop called, "The Shop" and it was Harry and the Potters singing "Voldemort Can't Stop the rock!"

Although when I was a tiny tot, my mother and I was invited to lunch with Ozzy Osbourne. No Joke, and sadly, my mother declined....

My first concert – beat this one!~

Cow Palace, San Francisco – 1965?

Headliner: Paul Revere and the Raiders
Opening Act: The Rolling Stones

Priceless ... I bought the tickets to see Paul Revere!

Susan
San Francisco

My first was New Kinds On The Block, but the best one I saw was The Rolling Stones in 1994 at the Kingdome (When it was still up)

should have added, I am in Long Beach, CA. First concert was in Houston, TX, however.

My first concert......Tony Orlando and Dawn in Charlotte. It was awesome!

Best concert, hands down.....Live Aid 1985 in Philadelphia. What an experience!

Have a good evening everyone. Great show tonight!

That's too far for police taser again grandma!!!! I think police overeacted for ticket!!!!!! Not right!

Good night Anderson, Erica, David G, Edurrado (Ed Henry) and my friend twitter/facebook bloggers!!!!!!!
Have a great night and sleep tight everyone!!!!
See you tomorrow night!!!!
Day of the shot with Stephen Colbert shave/cut his hair by army and marines!!! very funny shot! I love the shot!!! Great shot! LOL!

Anderson,
Have a great night, good sleep at home after work!!!! See you tomorrow night!!! Have a plenty sleep!

I have everyone beat! My first concert was a double bill from Phillip McKeon (Tommy from Alice) and Scott Baio when they both tried their music career in '79.

My first concert was Milli Vanilli, but I am not sure I can really count that one...

You may laugh, but my first concert ever was also Peter, Paul, & Mary at Fordham University in the Bronx, when I was 13. Yikes.

My first concert was Diana Ross with Ray Charles as the warm up!

First concert: 1965, instead of attending my high school graduation ceremony - Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis - eat your hearts out, kids.

my first concert was country singer bryan white when he came to the fair 10 years ago

Well, I took my kids to see the backstreet boys and had to sit through that mess. but, it was fun!

First concert, Neil Diamond. I was 40 something, a mother of 3. He still had IT.

My first concert was the Carpenters. I was in seventh grade. We sat in the second from the last row in the back of the auditorium, up in the rafters. It was great.

My first concert was way back in the day the Motown review with Stevie Wonder when he first came out with Fingertips, I think it was his first tour, the Miracle, Martha and the Vandellas, and I forgot who else. Back then they all appeared together. What a show in S.F. at the Cow Palace.

My first concert? Jimmy Dorsey in Sioux Falls, SD ballroom 1945

I saw my first concert in 1976.Kiss Bi-cenyennial tour

Harry Chapin – Cats and the Cradle became the basis of my life with my daughter

I was happy to see so many people in their 40's ,like me, who wrote about their first concert.See Anderson, ALL of your viewers aren't 'kids'.Goodnight everyone.Peace to all of you and yours.

Wooo!! My first concert was when I was 11....and it was the Spice Girls Baby!!!!!!!!! I waited 8 hours in the 90 degree weather with my mom to see them. Unfortunately, Ginger Spice had already departed

That was awesome! If anyone can order a haircut the President can...Maybe he can order my little bro to get one!

Good night Anderson, Erica and fellow bloggers! Have a good sleep and a wonderful tomorrow! Catch ya later!

I've got you all beat. My first concert was Elvis.

My first concert was THE BEATLES!!
In Detroit, sometime in the 60's. I even have a photograph I took of them WAY in the distance on the stage.

Ok it wasn't really a concert , it was at nightclub. At the Red Dog Saloon in Scottsdale AZ. in 65 the group was the Called the DOORS. This was before they got well known. Otherwise the concert was the DOORS again in 69.

My Dad took me to my first concert at about age 7 – Anne Murray! First rock concert though – John Couger, before he put the Mellancamp back in his name.

Good night, Anderson and Erica

Good night, friends, David in Indiana, bloggers, everyone!

Nite all....take care. <3

regarding first concerts.....my first was in in 1967 at the Boston garden my older sister took me to see the Monkees it was great Even better... the warm up band was Jimi Hendrix yes Jimi Hendrix It was better than unbelieveable

Oh – Colbert's hair will grow back.

first concert at 70 years old - Fleetwood Mac in Tacoma May 2009

@ Casey Jones - thanks for the Village People reference - One of my favorite pictures is of my friends spelling out YMCA to the song at an event we all attended. Everyone is doing a different letter and the "C" was backwards because my girlfirend is left handed. Needless to say - I think we all had been over-served!

my first concert was I ran away from home and got into the hollywood bowl and saw the Beatles in person 1964

First concert was Charlie Daniels Band in front of the toy department at Sears in Woodfield mall while waiting for them to get a delivery of Ataris

Oh my most recent concert John Legend- sweet.

My first concert was The Young Rascals! I wanted to go to the Monkees before that, but Mom wouldn't let me go... Rock (sort of) On!!

Okay so it was called the Police Picnic with the Police headlining, but on the bill were The GoGo's, Iggy Pop, the Specials, Oingo Boingo and that's all I can remember! It was a while ago!

It was not my first concert, but i honestly went to Woodstock! Was there for 5 days! It was amazing and on the way home (in a U-haul truck (all 16 of us), we were given free food and ice cream.

It seems that everybody saw the gathering on the news and wanted to be nice to the hippies.

I also remember when the army was sent in with the helicopters, all of the soldiers were hanging out of the copters giving us peace signs!

Love the Colbert bit with the president & the general! (loved the goat too)

Good night everyone, hope to see you on time tomorrow.

First, no relation to the former president.

More important, my furst concert was outside when I was about 6...
My dad took me to see my absolute favorite band – HERMAN'S HERMITS, who just happened to be playing with the LOVIN' SPOONFUL.

thanks,
Minda Bush

My first concert was the Spice Girls... Kind of embarrassing, but I'd probably go again.

My first concert was Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars in the early 70s in Phoenix. Who would have thought David Bowie would be around for so long!

My first concert was the Osmonds at Toronto's CNE on August 28th, circa 1973ish... it became a running birthday date for me every year... Unfortunately I was disappointed because I didn't catch the purple socks!

Hi Anderson My first concert was James Brown's 50 cent concert ...only .50 to get in ...

Re: 1st concert

Classic 80s: Thompson Twins and The Eurythics at Radio City Music Hall. When I was about 13, with my cool older cousin, Monica.

My first concert: 1962, Bobby Vee at the Enlisted Men's Club in Yokosuka, Japan...he got caught in traffic on the way from Tokyo, so the concert started late....I was so caught up in the excitement, I forgot to call my parents and didn't get home until way after curfew....grounded!!!! That was also a first....LOL

My first concert was to see Tone Loc around age 17. We won tickets from a radio show. Funky Cold Madena.

My first concert was ELO- It was a great first concert. I was 16. I even tried to be daring and buy beer but the guy just shook his head and told me to enjoy the concert.

First concert I attended was rock n roll show at the Cow Palace in SF in 1962... My friend's father managed the Cow Palace, we were in the 7th Grade... I got to go into the dressing rooms and met Marvin Gaye.. He was wearing white boxer shorts with red polka dots, changing for his show... he shook hands and said have a good time!

A few years later I got to go the Beatles last concert, at Candlestick Park.

I'm a songwriter because of those experiences...

GOOD NIGHT Anderson great show as always.
my first concert brothers johnson, and the commadors.
strawberry letter 23, brick house

@Michelle..I think that's worse than The Village People!! LOL

Good night bloggers!
