Coldplay And Reba McEntire Playing LIC This 4th of July
THE hits keep coming this July 4th, as the announced acts for the pre-show will include Coldplay and Reba McEntire. Oh, and also Black Pumas, and OneRepublic. I don’t know either of those latter two bands, but given my genre I could have this all wrong and they could be the headliners and big stars of the day. Black Pumas are advertised as “Wu-Tang Clan meets James Brown,” sounds promising. Oh, and also the performances are usually pre-taped so they won’t actually occur on July 4, but previously have been held on the Oval in Hunters Point South Park and open to the public1. So have that 6-pack and lighter ready to go when the time comes.

IN tracing the footsteps of my forebears down south, such as William Faulkner and Tennessee Williams, I could not help but take note that there are a lot of roadside fireworks stands in every state below the Mason Dixon line. And just like an accountant after April 15, or a retailer after December 25th, they all close after July 4.
