And he also wore a nice suit and tie rather than a leather jacket, torn jeans and a Bears jersey like many anthem singers tend to do.

As an unrepentant NASCAR fan, I see my fair share of antherm singers. Most are OK, few are great, some are beyond reprehensible. Billy Joel fell at the low end of great. Better than the abomination last year of Aretha Franklin, Dr. John and Aaron Neville. A friend who was at the game told me it was even worse live.

A local Detroit radio station, WMGC 105.1 plays a different listener every morning reciting the Pledge of Allegiance followed by a patriotic song. Today was Billy Joel.

National Anthem

Here's the Youtube link to Joel's performance. Quite nice IMO. I think what the guy with the wedgie assumed was Joel was the clip of Marlee Matlin doing sign language on the field during the song.

Man, people really need to get a life and quit getting bunched up.
