Despite heightened security and drizzling rain, tens of thousands of patriotic revelers crowded the Charles River Esplanade last night for the nation's premier Fourth of July celebration. People came from across the country -- and some camped out all night -- for the free concert by the Boston Pops and rocker John Mellencamp, followed by the city's signature fireworks display.
Ah, yes, another Fourth has come and gone. We've been getting some good "rockers" lately. Mellencamp this year, Aerosmith last year. Let's try and get Prince for next year. He did the best halftime show ever. Think of what he could do with an orchestra!
