Onhwy61, not to derail the thread--which Lindisfarne has already accomplished to a degree with his impromptu grammar lesson--but what evidence is there that the "rule is shifting" with regard to placing punctuation (commas and periods specifically)outside the quotation mark? I'm not trying to be contrary or challenge your assertion, but since I teach this stuff for a living, I am curious about your claim.
More on point, I am very happy to have caught Springsteen on his most recent tour. It was an amazing show, of course, and captured vividly the way I will always remember Clemons, larger than life, rocking out all the way to the end.
