I almost watched it, but assumed it would have wokeness highlights. Sorry I missed it.
Ho Ho Ho as Biden would say.
Not sure if anyone say that article yet.
My son got to see it live with his marching band group (from Minnesota)
sounds like I should have taken them up on the offer to go along lol.
Well that’s good. I must have come in later where Latin singers were singing in Spanish, so much for Independence Day. But after all, they didn’t call it an Independence Day celebration or even July 4th celebration. It was “Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks”.
I was in and out of the Capitol Fourth on PBS...not much woke crap...i was searching the crowd to hopefully find a MAGA hat but did not see one
Lift every voice and sing,
‘Til earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the list’ning skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
Let us march on ‘til victory is won.
Stony the road we trod,
Bitter the chastening rod,
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat,
Have not our weary feet
Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered,
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered,
Out from the gloomy past,
‘Til now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
Thou who has brought us thus far on the way;
Thou who has by Thy might
Led us into the light,
Keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee,
our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee;
Shadowed beneath Thy hand,
May we forever stand,
True to our God,
True to our native lands.

If the left actually listened to the words, they would ban this song. I’m cool with it; it’s the song that is the equivalent of America the Beautiful, turning to God as our strength.
Gotta link? :-)
The Boston Pops was actually not as woke as it usually is. Nice surprise for the 4th!
Watching now.
WOW! THEY PLAYED TRUMP’S CAMPAIN SONG!
Maybe Macys feels guilty for banning Trump products from their store in 2016 after he said rapists were coming over the border. Oh my, he was right!
If lift every voice was in it, it was woke.
"Nothing work".
I was just enjoying the family today. I was checking the UK election at times, but not much of anything. Happy Independence Day, all.
My late wife and I saw the Macy’s show three times. They were great, especially the one where we sat on a pier and the East River below us. But to be honest for sitting at home the Macy’s show oesn’t hold a candle to the DC 4th and definitely not the Boston Pops 4th
*Program was on due to digital TV converter at the ranch cabin being stuck on one channel.
We only watched a bit of it, but one woman did sing Amazing Grace (first verse) so that was great.
Full disclosure: I like Lift Ev’ry Voice and Sing, and have no problem with it being sung anytime, anyplace, anywhere.
