Default Fiesta to Pops: A study

Did anyone go from the Fiesta on the Parkway to the Philly Pops show last night? I did. And I'll tell you what I think. Philly Pops needs to pep it up a bit.......jesus......I go from dirty dancing on the parkway with strangers to sitting on a lawn and listening to bad elevator music. I don't remember Boston Pops being quite that dull. Peter Nero needs to get better taste too.........sheeesh....did I really need to listen to Barry Manilow in the middle of the celebration? I felt myself having this strange urge to pull my ears off and pluck my eyes out during the show. My GF fell asleep against the window of the Liberty Bell building. And would any Pops show be complete without "There's no business like show business". Sheesh, Peter....talk about being on the very fringe of show business. You might have just left it last night. That was less show and more business than it deserved.

Now the Fiesta had a downside. Do all of the great salsa, etc. dancers have to be horrible looking people. I mean...lady...you really can move....but your boobs just about took down the Ghana flagpole on the parkway. There was a woman that was so large....I told the people that I was with.... that guy is a pretty good dancer. And there were a few brave white folks trying to keep up out there. I admire the effort. Next time...stay home..... it was a little embarrassing. But the music was fun. And the food that I ate hasn't hit me yet......wait.........I'm outta here......

Anyone who went to these events...I'd like to hear the analysis...and perhaps a few contrasting thoughts about the two events back to back.

Everybody needs to go to these things once or twice till you get it out of your system. Then you will find better ways to get your entertainment, particularly given the steambath weather we usually have around the fourth.
