The Show Must Go On, Even If It’s Cancelled

The weather didn’t really cooperate on the holiday yesterday. Although Philadelphia natives Hall & Oates — one of whom has the greatest mustache of all time (I think it’s Oates, though it could be Hall) — were able to perform their 4th of July concert, the city told everyone to go home afterwards, as the rain would postpone the Independence Day fireworks.

Of course, 40 minutes later, the fireworks went on, for the benefit of television viewers — because there’s really nothing better than watching fireworks on television! KYW 1060 reports the station was actually told “shortly after” the postponement that the fireworks would go on: “We actually are going to make sure that our viewers at home get a spectacular 4th of July and that we’ll be running the fireworks momentarily.”

The estimated viewership for the fireworks at home was like 3 people.

    Besides Oates not having a mustache for years, wouldn’t you think that a reporter would have the sense to find out which one of the duo,in fact, had one instead of guessing? Don’t you have an editor?

    How many years has it been? John ditched the mustache around 1997 for Pete’s sake… now Daryl has one.
