I annually watch the hour and a half  Capital Fourth program  from the Mall, and will again this year.  All for patriotism, freedom, some entertainment  and the fireworks over the district.  Except for a couple of stars, the cast is unknown to me this year.   However, this year CNN does this again, and theirs is an extravaganza of 5 hours beginning at 7PM EDT. Featured will be: AJR, Ava Max, Alessia Cara, Avril Lavigne, the B-52’s,  Def Leppard, the Doobie Brothers, Gloria Estefan, Jason Derulo, Jimmie Allen, Journey, The Lumineers, Machine Gun Kelly, Maren Morris, Old Dominion, Pitbull, Santana, Third Eye Blind, T-Pain, Willie Nelson   and more.   Plus fireworks  from:   Austin, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Fort Lauderdale, Houston, Jacksonville, Nashville, New York City, Pasadena, Philadelphia, St. Louis, San Diego, San Francisco   and   Washington DC. Of course this is an important Federal holiday, being our 246th birthday, so banks, the stock market and schools will all be closed.  T
