Macy's Fireworks 2025: A touch of subersiveness... [View all]
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!
