If you think the Macy's 4th Fireworks were impressive...
This is Icelandic New Year's Eve. I was thinking of trying to be there for my 40th Birthday. Now that's some fireworks!!!!

Holy god, it looks like the city is getting shelled with pretty colored artillery.

Yeah, it's insane... I saw it live on New Year's Eve (becoming 2002)... I hope we get to see it this year as well. Never seen anything quite like it, not even the 4th of July in the US.

Ooo, youre givin me the fever tonight
I dont wanna give in Id be playin with fire You forget, Ive seen you work before Take `em straight to the top Leave `em cryin for more Ive seen you burn `em before Chorus: Fire and ice You come on like a flame Then you turn a cold shoulder Fire and ice I wanna give you my love But youll just take a little piece of my heart Youll just tear it apart Movin in for the kill tonight You got every advantage when they put out the lights Its not so pretty when it fades away Cause its just an illusion in this passion play Ive seen you burn `em before (chorus) So you think you got it all figured out Youre an expert in the field, without a doubt But I know your methods inside and out And I wont be takin in by fire and ice (chorus) You come on like a flame Then you turn a cold shoulder Fire and ice I wanna give you my love But youll just take a little piece of my heart You come on like a flame Then you turn a cold shoulder Fire and ice You come on like a flame Then you turn a cold shoulder Fire and ice Written by: pat benatar, scott sheets & tom kelly

If you ever get the chance, go to the National Fireworks Convention. It's held in a different city each year. I covered it once many years ago. It's all the fireworks makers in the country getting together to show off what they can do, so you'll see fireworks you can't see anywhere else.
The fireworks started at dusk and wrapped up around 12:30AM. The finale was nearly an hour long, and the entire show was set to music. They did a different show every night for a week. It's unreal. Does kinda spoil you for regular fireworks after that though. |
