I know I’m getting a bit long in the tooth (almost 64) but I am pretty sure that when we learned “America The Beautiful” when I was in school, the line was “purple mountains’ majesty” and not “purple mountain majesties.” I’ve heard the latter quite often, notably in the famous Ray Charles version, but I think that the former makes more sense. Any other old-timers out there who remember it the way I do?

I simply liked her performance of it.

Had no knowledge of her political positions, but the entertainment industry is full of lefties.

Robbie Shankar (spelling?) is her father. I would be cautious about making judgements about Indian's when it comes to politics. They tend to be a bit more complicated than the average Hollywood Leftie.
