Celebration on the Grand's shift to summer came with a almost fall-like weather on Friday afternoon.
However, it wasn't autumn.

4 weeks ago We are getting to a point where there's no need for true live music anymore!
We have seen videos of dead musicians performing in hologram form. Most recently, Michael Jackson "performed" at the Billboard Music Awards, despite being dead for five years.
