quick question, why exactly do the lights go out in broadway?

[charlie and algernon]

you know, in that Billy Joel song? it's a very touching, sad song, but i've never figured out why NYC is destroyed. did i miss something? or is it up to our imagination?

1. hmm, are you guys just as confused?

2. kick for the day crew

3. They do it when a big Broadway star dies

For instance, the lights on Broadway's theaters were dimmed when Ethel Merman died.

I don't know if that answers your question, but there you go.

4. that's interesting, i didn't know that, but..

that's not what i'm talking about. in billy Joel's song, NYC is bombed and destroyed, but i've never understood why.

6. Oh...well, I missed the point.

Regarding your original point, I don't know.
