The Standells (yeah, yeah, not from here, but still) and Jonathan Richman segueing into NKOTB, Aerosmith and Kay Hanley, all performing on top of cars and trucks jammed on a symbolic Southeast Expressway, while Tom Menino stands on top of a replica Custom House yelling at people. It'd be great!

My notion was to have Mission of Burma doing "Trem Two" at a volume that would cause bleeding from the ears of all 80,000 spectators within a mile of Gillette.
