Tragic Rain In The Summertime

"And then I run 'til the breath tears my throat
'Til the pain hits my side
As if I run fast enough
I can leave all the pain and the sadness behind
I love to feel the rain in the summertime
I love to feel the rain on my face"

In 1988, I saw The Alarm open for Bob Dylan at The Indiana State Fairgrounds. Tonight, the chorus to "Rain In The Summertime" keeps playing hauntingly, over and over, in my head. I'll never listen to it again without thinking about this horrible, horrible event. I suppose accidents happen all over the world, everyday. But, when they hit so close to home, the sadness resonates. Thoughts and wishes to those involved and their families. Just awful.
