> it is said that Hendrix played the anthem as a protest to the war in Vietnam, in a very unpatriotic fashion

HORSESH!T. Hendrix was a patriot who loved America, served in the military (although it was determined that that was not a suitable occupation for him), and expressed his love in that song.

His Star Spangled Banner rendition was not unpatriotic - it was the exact opposite. This writer is 180 degrees wrong.

That dude looks like Waingro, the Kevin Gage character in the movie "Heat."

He did a great job. It was nice to hear his patriotic version.

First off it's not a mullet haircit:

Second it's along the vein of Jimi Hendrix playing the Star Spangled Banner:

Mullet? More like a receding hair line with “regular” long hair. We stumbled into a mullet meet up in Lake Tahoe a few years back. Now, THOSE were mullets. LOL!

Being an old veteran, I appreciate the National Anthem when it’s played traditionally...The ONLY version I like that isn’t traditional is the one by the group “Madison Rising”...here it is:

The marketing group for the NFL can go pound sand. The korporate bosses at the NFL showed their true colors when the organization members knelt for Communist organizations such as Black Lives MatterTM.

It's a dishonor to play the National Anthem at an NFL game.

I’m sorry, the National Anthem sounds perfect as it was originally written. Honor our heritage, imo.

I still had the sound turned down and his hair was so horrendous I had to look away

It was pathetic he needs to let go

Pretty awful. Not that he can’t play guitar... but that was not in any way a respectful rendition of the Start Spangled Banner. Indeed - it falls in the same category as some of the wild-run, improve vocal stylings by some performers that also remove the simplicity and honor the National Anthem deserves.

Foot - even the infamous Jimmy Hendrix version is more respectful than this.

The rock group Boston does an electronic guitar rendition w the whole band and it’s really good.

And here I am just wishing I could find a copy out there of B.J. Thomas singing the National Anthem during the Stars Stanley Cup finals back in 1999. Man had a voice...

Which is to say, ping to watch later. :)
