We Love NYC: The Homecoming Concert
New York City's We Love NYC: The Homecoming Concert, a nationally televised star-studded Central Park event which was supposed to include live performances from Paul Simon and Bruce Springsteen, has been called off mid-show due to severe weather.
Around 7:30 p.m., as Barry Manilow sang "Can't Smile Without You," an announcement was issued asking fans to promptly exit the Great Lawn for their safety. Rain and lightning ensued — the first showings of Hurricane Henri, which is due to hit the east coast this weekend.

But did it ever make sense?

"We Love NYC: The Homecoming Concert" was planned as the culmination of NYC Homecoming week, a citywide celebration of the city's recovery during the COVID-19 pandemic
60,000 people were on the Great Lawn in Central Park for the show; all attendees over the age of 12 had to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination.
It was produced by legendary music industry executive and native New Yorker Clive Davis and Live Nation
Planned performers include Bruce Springsteen, Patti Smith, Jennifer Hudson, Paul Simon, LL Cool J and Andrea Bocelli.
And they got halfway through.
But was this celebration a bit premature?
With COVID-19 still on the run and the DELTA variant raging why would a city be packing 60,000 into the Great Lawn for a concert?
And now through in Hurricane Henri.
****
To all in Connecticut, New York and New England -- stay save.
