The Scoop:
All-American Summer Concert Schedule has released their rundown of the free concerts that will be taking place on the FOX News Plaza on 48th Street just off the Avenue Of The Americas and its a wide gamut of stellar performers. Not only are these performances free of charge but they also serve up some BBQ ribs and chicken (unless I’m mistaken). There might even be beer which considering the time of the day that these take place is kind of weird but here is the list of shows for you to begin marking down as interest items on your mobile device of choice or one of those handy dandy day planners that use pen and paper. I think its awesome that they do this kind of thing and wish there were more events like this to share with you

PiercingMetal Thoughts: As you might have noticed. There are not too many of the Heavy Rock and Metal artists this time around. That’s bound to happen since we live in a Pop Music world where the refurbished “American Idol” is airing again alongside the more dominating “The Voice”. Despite my efforts to be a part of more of these special showcases over the last couple of years I’ve only managed to catch the one that the legendary Alice Cooper did a few years ago. As they are free, its open to the general public and some folks get there when the rooster crows. Also everyone records every moment of them for their Facebook, Instagram and whatever the hell else they opt to chronicle their world on so space is very limited. If you come in as a civilian and are among the crowd no one stops you from snapping/shooting video. Even if you decide to blog about it or post your pictures to a branded account like I would do. Now, folks in the unaware should know that these events start super early in the morning which is not always an easy thing for me if I’ve been at a late ending concert or event the night before. Some friends of mine go to these concerts right before their regular workday and I guess its pretty safe to use the excuse that the MTA caused you to be late since their overall services suck so bad these days. Oh come on now, you know I am right about that. So let close this up by asking you which shows you find most interesting and that you would like to attend. You can share your scoop down in the comments section below. Sure there are only a handful that would be potentially documented on this site but you are not going to be shamed for finding interest in the others. I like seeing different stuff myself when I can work it out. Also, be aware that while I will be listing the most topical ones for our readership on our Events Calendar, the whole kit and kaboodle will be listed on The Chronicles Of Piercing Ken Calendar. Ciao for now.
