It has always been just a vehicle to promote top 40 acts. Boston Pops on Bloomberg and PBS just wrapped up but repeats.
Top 40 acts are retarded.
Boston Pops always used to be on CBS....wonder what happened...
About an hour ago I noticed that Boston Pops would be on one of the few channels I get.
I have not seen it in years but remember Arthur Fiedler sweating and going to town with Sousa Marches. They sounded great.
As soon as Perry Mason went off, I switched the channel to the Pops. I saw some Marines acting really weird. Then several songs, none of which were patriotic.
Checked back in several times and heard no patriotic music at all. Of course they could have played some while I was not watching.
