The Star Spangled Banner is a beautiful tune when played with the dignity and respect it deserves.Not like these clownish freaks who have sang it at past sporting events.

It’s not broke so don’t try to fix it.

I couldn’t agree more heartily with you. When played or sung traditionally and well, it is majestic and beautiful.

When done by the likes of Roseanne Barr and any number of performers, the disrespect is appalling.

Compare liberal performers singing it to the Marine Corps Band playing it.

‘Nuff said.

screeching and wavering and straining towards the high c. makes me feel hostile too.
