Lee Greenwood has a new song:"THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE"

Fox News Channel a few minute ago had an interview with Lee Greenwood regarding the Pledge of Allegiance controversial rulling of the 9th Circuit court. Lee said he had just finished writing a song, and offered to sing it. It was of course the Pledge of Allegiance. A beautifull song, that only Lee can sing. It made a few tears in my eyes, and I don't cry easily.

Not new. Lee Greewood did a concert for Fleet Week here in Norfolk two years ago...immediately after the USS Cole attack, and he sung it then.

[pgkdan]

...and he sung it then

My mother would be so proud of my language skills.

his song God Bless the USA is fine- but anyone that can write a song in 24 hours---hmmm I doubt how good it is

I dunno - Hank Williams wrote one in a recording studio for an audition. They gave him a subject and a few minutes later he had the song done. With real talent - amazing things can be done.

"Twister"- FM in Oklahoma City, KTST, the "Crash & Burns Show", is putting together a shipment of boots:
They're sending them to Peter Jennings! and they're going to tell him exactly where to put them!

I'm in Los Angeles...heard Crash And Burns interviewed about this on The Mike Gallagher
Show yesterday.
I was suprised they said that they got UPS to agree to ship the lot of boots to Peter Jennings!

I also appreciated that they said they'd already received a number of pairs of old
military combat boots...from spouses of folks currently deployed to protect Mr. Jennings right
to freedom of speech.

It was kind of nostalgic for me...the show is broadcast from the 50 Penn Place building
in Oklahoma City...lived about 5 blocks from there for six years after I finished college.

[Huck]

Hank Williams

But then you are talking about one of the very greatest songwriters of all time.

But then you are talking about one of the very greatest songwriters of all time

Very true. Can you imagine the ability to sit down and have a tune come to your mind and then put the words to it - just out of your mind. That is an amazing talent and those with it probably don't realize how special the ability is.

I agree, these liberal vampires fears God as much as the sunlight of truth.

Exactly. I hope they keep exposing themselves for the intolerant bigots they are. The sleeping tiger is awake and the winds of change are blowing. We're going to take our country back from the godless who fear a name they claim they don't even believe in. lol

. . .anyone that can write a song in 24 hours---hmmm I doubt how good it is.

You mean like the Star Spangled Banner? Francis Scott Key dashed that one off in a few hours.

What about The Battle Hymn of the Republic? That was dashed off in one night. America The Beautiful was written in an evening after the author vacationed out west and was astounded by the beauty of the mountains there.

And, if we are getting off the topic of patriotic songs, Marty Robbin's El Paso was written while he was driving along a highway one day. He pulled off the road to finish the song, because "he wanted to know how it would end.

There are plenty of songs that were written in one day. Sometimes the magic works.

il-Ilahi is satan, you moron. Go back to smirkingchimp.

WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE LEE GREENWOOD????

He's one of the few country stars from the 80's whom I can't stand, a couple of good songs notwithstanding. Now I'll have to listen to it, probably like the song, and as whenever I get goosebumps listening to "God Bless the USA," hate myself for liking the song...becuase of Greenwood!!!!

[Huck]

I can imagine it because I have written many songs myself. Some of them very quickly. What I can't imagine is that the song that comes out is "Lovesick Blues". And that the one after that is "Honkey Tonkin". And the one after that is "kalija". And then "I'm so lonesome I could cry". Then "Your cheatin heart." I don't know a would be songwriter ou there who wouldn't trade a gonad for just one of those tunes.

Will dirty sox do?

I thought that the star spangled banner was written as a poem, and put to music quite a while later.

The other songs you mentioned are not particular favorites of mine, but point taken. ;)

[parsifal]

Oh gosh, why couldn't somebody good like Hank Williams or Johnny Cash have written it. I can't stand Lee Greenwood. He reminds me of a weasel. Lee Greenwood is so cheesey and "Nascar-ry." parsy.

[constitutiongirl]

That's the proper form here in Virginia.:)

[parsifal]

How true. Have you seen that new four volume CD set of his? I got it. Even has one disk of his "Health and Happiness Hour Radio Show programs on it." Great buy and relatively cheap. parsy.

[desertcry]

Yeah, Lee is not the easiest guy to look at, but I do enjoy his singing, specially after 9.11.
