gridloreThe Boston Pops aren't on TV! Bummer!
Update
Well, turns out they were on TV, on CBS to be precise. An hour-long cut-down that removed much of the joy of the concert and didn't show the 1812 Overture! Instead we got The Stars and Stripes Forever and fifteen minutes of televised fireworks. Argh. The reason a Russian composition celebrating a victory over Napolean has become an American standrard for July 4th is because the Boston Pops play it every year on television!
Needless to say, I'm writing CBS a nasty note.
