Bruce: "I want to send this song out to somebody tonight who passed away last week. A great journalist and writer named Charles Cross. Charles is the founder of Backstreets Magazine. His great writing and his influence and his help communicating between our band and our fans will be sorely missed. This is for Charles Cross."
