Fireworks and JOAN JETT rock Florida Marlins

Add some music to your cell phone and you have a phenomenon -- note all those people lined up outside Apple stores Friday to be the first to buy the new $600 iPhone.
Add some music post-baseball game and you just may boost your attendance, too.
That's the game plan for the Florida Marlins this season with its new Super Saturdays concert series. The latest, Saturday night at Dolphin Stadium after the Marlins fell to the Atlanta Braves before 24,229 fans, featured '80s pop/rock act JOAN JETT AND THE BLACKHEARTS.
The highlight? Sorry, Joan, it was the July 4th-worthy fireworks display, just before the leather-clad, midriff-baring rocker took the stage for a 40-minute set running through the expected hits -- I Love Rock 'n' Roll, Bad Reputation, I Hate Myself for Loving You and her cover of Tommy James & the Shondell's Crimson and Clover.

The raven-haired Jett, 46, lean and cut, struggling through a touch-and-go sound mix (on the field, anyway), also threw in a few lesser-known tunes, such as Love Is Pain, Naked and Fetish.
The real buzz, however, is taking in a free (with game ticket) concert and fireworks show after a night at Dolphin Stadium. Hallandale's Gulfstream Race Track did well with its concert series, recently reinstated, and the Marlins, fighting for fan support, are wise to try this similar approach.
