If you were to ask 10 random black folks on the street what the “black” national anthem was, you would get 9 blank stares, and 1 get away from me comment.

It mentions God so they can’t have that.

Uh --- I think that part of one of the verses may be somewhat problematic:
... Out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast."

You’re right. I’m one of those culturally deprived.

MayflowerMadam is correct. How can White gleam be allowed? Gives them something to complain about in 50 years I guess.

Wait a minute! I think that Joe Walsh was first with his offering for a new national anthem. Need to consider
Live's Been Good as the first order of business. In reality, Clyburn's bill is just as silly.
Life's Been Good by Joe Walsh
If anyone saw the national anthem before AFC Championship game, that performance would have been awful and disrespectful regardless of what song was played. Someone doing a Jimi Hendrix do-over. You had to be stoned out of your gourd to like Hendrix' version at Woodstock and it certainly doesn't need a cover.

Yes, replacing the Star Spangled Banner with the “black national anthem” will certainly unify the country.
But if someone knells while it is being played, will that be considered an “act of insurrection”? Or will knelling be the required pose?

Do other states have an official rock song?
Indiana could use "Indiana Wants Me."
To: Artemis Webb
We already have a national hymn: “God of our Fathers”
To: ajf_in_texas
ajf can you source that please? I am looking at the Wikipedia article on it and don’t see a reference to it being the “National Hymn”.

My mistake. According to the article the tune is titled “National Hymn”. But it’s not an official designation.
...I think. :)

How about a Vietnam War battle hymn?
“Him, him, him.
Screw him.
Kill him.
Him.”
Or the theme from the movie “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.”
The song “Puberty Love” was sung by the then-teenaged Matt Cameron, who later became the drummer for Soundgarden and since 1998 has been the drummer for Pearl Jam.

Never enough until they have it all and destroy everything and we are just gone.
