And that wasn't' just plain horrible, but just plain disrespectful


Like Paul Harvey used to say "Here, wash your ears out with this..."

And I appreciate this comment:

"That's the way it should be done in every national sports event. We
need to tell the big sports associations there's no need for MTV
stars. Just good voices without the antics."



Perhaps we need a different national anthem. The one we have is a
difficult "sing" under the best of circumstances. The words are ok, no
better than ok, but the music is just awful.

"America the Beautiful" is a far, far better song.

"This land is your land" no longer is applicable, since the corporations
now own about everything mentioned.
