The Roots added to July 4 show on the Parkway, announce Borgata residency
The Roots on the set of Nick Jr.'s "Yo Gabba Gabba."

The Roots, who just got added to the bill with Sheryl Crow of the July 4 Welcome America concert on the Parkway, will also be engaged in a residency at Atlantic City’s Borgata, starting July 24. The Philadelphia hip-hop heroes, now the house band on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon,” will perform July 24 at the Borgata’s 1,000 seat Music Box theater, with a special guest to be announced. After the show, drummer Questlove will spin at the Borgata’s mixx nightclub. The group recently sold out the 7,000 capacity Festival Pier at their second annual Roots Picnic which also featured Public Enemy, TV on the Radio and Philly raised Santigold. Tix are on sale Saturday for the first July 24 show for $49.50 on the Borgata’s web site. There will be several more shows with the second expected around Labor Day.

TSR. It's hypocritical of you to write that about Rachel after what you wrote (as Dr. Thorpe) about the Uzi-wielding robber.

I am hijacking delcodanno's comment: How come there is no mention of the beat down that Perez Hilton got anywhere on philly.com? I’m here to say my new favorite band is the Black Eyed Peas. No other news story this year has made me smile like this did. There is justice in the world. Will.I.Am and the Peas manager Polo Molina are my new heroes.

What is with this ethnic element that has to be everywhere at all times? This past Christmas season, the German Village on the City Hall concourse was inundated with a DJ spinning rap music. C'mon - can it.
