the national anthem at the ball game some yahoo actually blogged perhaps we ought to stop singing the national anthem at the ball game... why? was this guy anti american? Nope.. his reasoning was that since noone can really sing it great ( except whitney and now lady gaga) and people seem to keep forgetting the words or messing up the song...perhaps the song should be reserved for just special occasions. ( like the olympics where we pseudo wrap ourselves in the flag and cheer on someone doing curling because omg they are american!) Basically his assertion was..well if your gonna half ass it, then perhaps you shouldn't sing it at all... Then the stupid kc talk radio personality said " hell she didn't even know what some of the words in the song meant" Really? ...hello the song is about the bombing of an american fort ( fort Mchenry)by the British in the war of 1812.. the fort survived the attack and flew the flag proudly...(" doesn't anyone open a freaking book anymore"... I just see this as another tradition that certain groups of people want to get rid of or replace....just like the pledge of allegiance( which can now opt out on saying) It really is the only open display of patriotism most experience for christ's sake.. and this idiot wants it stopped because the song is difficult. I really don't care if some 15 yr old girl at a baseball game can't sing like whitney or gets nervous and forgets a line or two of the song...it's the thought that counts This is america and I want to hear that damn song.....play ball |
