"It is a major crusade of mine and that is to get rid of the Star-Spangled Banner. Now I know you’re going to say I am not a true American I’m not patriotic. I don’t think patriotism has anything to do with it. The National Anthem is just absolutely monumentally un-singable. I mean there’s so much wrong with it. I don’t know where to start," liberal radio talk show host Bill Press said on his nationally syndicated program today. "It’s an abomination. First it ranges two octaves most people can only do kind of one octave. I mean when you think about it, it’s bombs bursting in air rocket’s red glare it all kinds of, you know a lot of national anthems are that way, all kinds of military jargon and the land there’s only one phrase ‘the land of the free’ which is kind of nice and ‘the home of the brave?’ I don’t know," he said. "Are we [Americans] the only ones who are brave on the planet? I mean all the brave people live here. I mean it’s just stupid I think. I’m embarrassed, I’m embarrassed every time I hear it."

What a rotten spectator. America has this beautiful reminder: Why can't Bill Press recoginise that many Americans are trying ... I mean REALLY trying.
LOL. That was terrible. The Hindenburg crash was less of a disaster then her rendition. Here is an Ohio native, Crystal Bowersox doing the national anthem at a NASCAR event. She did a better job then when she sang it for the Mud Hen baseball team in her home state when she was still competing on American Idol/
The National Anthem is just absolutely monumentally un-singable.
