Did you ever say the same of Jimi Hendrix’s version?!

That’s a good and valid question.
Context.
Jimmie performed music as music in a music venue where the context was entertainment.
Jimmie didn’t sing altered lyrics.
So, no, I didn’t react the same.
( probably my favorite song long guitar solo !!!!! I’m also a musician, bass guitar, ukelele, 6 hole native American cedar flute .)
I may be still a little emotionally unsettled from yesterday. We have a small vet Memorial in my town for the vets that gave their life for our nation. On Memorial day I go there in the morning, and having been part of a honor guard at a USCG burial and trained in the slow solomn salute, and give that salute to each of the conflict sections.
When I got to the afganistan section , I placed the only tattered little flag I had
( cuz I couldn’t the new ones I have stashed for this personal ceremony of mine )
,,, I lost my composure over how that tattered flag was actually reflective of the disrespect to their sacrafice the CIC acted in our withdraw from that area of conflict.
It has always bothered me but it hit full force at that moment and tore a hole in my heart and brought blurred vision.
I guess I’m still a little sore , and this anthem thing triggered my response to this subject today.
