The 'We Love NYC: The Homecoming Concert,' a star-studded evening celebrating the resilience of New York, took an unexpected turn as inclement weather halted the show on Saturday.
It’s fitting that We Love NYC: The Homecoming Concert turned into a prolonged and losing battle with the elements. Halfway through the would-be five-hour musical event, as Barry Manilow sang “I Can’t Smile Without You,” a disembodied voice urged the thousands of people gathered on’s Great Lawn to leave. A severe thunderstorm — brought on by Hurricane Henri — was approaching, and everyone needed to seek shelter elsewhere. For now, the show would not go on.
I guess that is to be expected for a concert born of a fantasy about the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and burdened by an assumed relevance for New Yorkers, not to mention the event’s real meaning for its architects and corporate sponsors. Before the crowds — unmasked, partially vaccinated — rolled into Central Park, before
, the evening’s host, took the stage, and before the musicians performed their largely energetic acts, the flashy event felt otherworldly, unreal and off-key.
