Certain vote Solution on page 2 CoverStory By Jay Bobbin © Zap2it In his first stint as host of "A Capitol Fourth," John Stamos is guaranteed to have a big presence for an extra reason. Not only will the "Full House," "Grandfathered" and "Scream Queens" alum introduce other acts, he'll also continue a frequent role of his — performing with music's iconic Beach Boys — as PBS broadcasts the 37th annual edition of the Inde- pendence Day celebration Tuesday, July 4 (check lo- cal listings), from the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. "I've hosted quite a few things," Stamos says, "but to me, this is the time to host a Fourth of July special about America and our freedom. Not to get political, but it's going to feel great to talk about what that means to us right now, with the way of the world. I think it might have a little more meaning this year. To me, it will." Also slated to appear on "A Capitol Fourth" are Dan Aykroyd and Jim Belushi as "The Blues Brothers," country music's Trace Adkins, Motown's legendary Four Tops, "American Idol" alum Kellie Pickler, gospel singer Yolanda Adams, Broadway's Laura Osnes ("Bandstand"), latest "The Voice" winner Chris Blue and — starting the 90-minute program with the National An- them — Sofia Carson of the upcoming Disney/ ABC TV-movie sequel "Descendants 2." Jack Everly again will conduct the National Symphony Orchestra. Just coming off a Euro- pean tour with the Beach Boys, Stamos isn't their only addition for "A Cap- itol Fourth," since Mark McGrath also will be with them. "I'd sat in with them here and there," Stamos recalls, "but the first time I really was featured with the band was in 1985, at the Fourth of July con- cert at the Washington Monument. We were in Philadelphia that day, and there was a million-and- a-half people there, then we went to D.C. that night and there was another million. That was pretty crazy."
