Macy's Fireworks 2025: A touch of subersiveness...

Hi, NYC'r here. 👋

So visiting my sister this evening, she had DVR'd them for me.

We think there was some subversion there.
"Bridge Over Troubled Waters" - gospel style no less!
"What's Going On" newer version of Marvin Gaye's '60s hit (referring Civil Rights, maybe Anti-Vietnam War).

And she told me the Black & Hispanic singer for "God Bless America" is openly lesbian.

So Quest Love (who picked the music) got some digs in. 👍

The fireworks themselves were really extra great adding The Brooklyn Bridge fireworks were fabulous!

2. We watched the show on TV. It was stunning!

And the messages were VERY clear. It gave me hope.
