DAILY NEWS RED BLUFF Joan Jett performs in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Thursday on NBC. T H E V O I C E O F T E H A M A C O U NTY S I N C E 1 8 8 5 So what if Christmas decorations popped up on store shelves before Halloween? The season officially begins Thursday at 9 a.m. with the parade. Yes, this is one of the few things in life so famous that it can be referred to that generally. Specifically, it is the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on Thursday, Nov. 28. For those keeping track, this is the 87th parade (it began in 1924 but was suspended 1942-44 during World War II). For three hours on NBC-Thursday morning, it's a fair bet most people are watching "Today" regulars Al Roker, Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie chat about the lineup that includes the cast of "Duck Dynasty," Cirque du Soleil and Florida Georgia Line. Jimmy Fallon and the Roots jam with the cast of "Sesame Street." The Rockettes will high-kick in front of the landmark 34th Street store, and casts from Broadway's "Motown: The Musical," "Matilda" and "The Sound of Music Live!" are scheduled to perform. To mark the 75th anniversary of "The Wizard of Oz," a 47-foot-high hot-air balloon emblazoned with the film's characters debuts. Look closely in the balloon's basket – a young woman is trying to get back to Kansas. Some 50 million are expected to watch at home while an anticipated 3.5 million will line the parade route. "That's what everybody does that day," says Kellie Pickler, who will perform her new single, "Little Bit Gypsy." "Every kid that watches the parade thinks that it would be fun to be there and see the parade in person," Pickler says. "Sometimes the best seats are the ones at home on your couch." Pickler is preparing to be in her first parade, as is Joan Jett, who's performing from her new album, "Unvarnished." Jett, who lives in New York, is going to be on a float from South Dakota. The Mount Rushmore state's secretary of state, a major Blackhearts fan, invited her. Though the parade usually features country, pop and Broadway, Jett was pleased to bring a punkier sound to the party. "When we play around the country, in all sorts of places, I am always pretty astounded by the variety of audience we attract playing our kind of rock and roll," Jett says. "All ages, all stripes of political persuasion. Music transcends a lot of those barriers, which is what I think music is supposed to do. It is supposed to bring them together rather than pull them apart." 12:30 p.m. (ESPN) (ESPN2) College Basketball Teams TBA.
