I have a thing for acappella harmony versions of the U.S. national
anthem, I guess. Here's one I heard last night. I don't like the
ending but the rest of it is flawless.

FUCK the national anthem, it was written by a slave owner.
So now it's not what comes out of the speakers. It's whether the writer
meets your moral standards.

This can't be anything other than a return to your days of widespread trolling.

What drove me crazy, and this started quite a few years ago, and maybe
is still going on, but it seemed like anybody that sang the national
anthem would put 23 or 24 notes into almost every syllable. I guess to
try to show off their annoying chops ?

Of course it is. It comes from the man who passionately defends
listening to Charles Manson, who, besides being a multiple murderer,
could be accused with some justification of owning slaves.

I believe it started with Jose Feliciano.
Anyhow the version I posted does not fit that description.

It's not trolling at all. I've already explained that I have no
objection to what "The Star Spangled Banner" sounds like. I only have a problem with people wanting me to show reverence when it is played. I
like a couple of Manson's songs, and the Beach Boys liked at least one
of them, which they recorded after they changed the title and Dennis
took the writing credits....I guess he paid Charlie for the right to do
that.
Diane, would you stop listening to Howlin' Wolf if you found out that he really did kill someone, and maybe even more than one? No doubt there
are records that you like by people who were murderers and did not get caught.

Well, I listen to Little Willie John, and he killed someone, but you're
the one who's bitching and moaning about the national anthem being
written by a slaveowner. BTW, that only applies to the lyrics. The
music was an old British drinking song, not written by a slaveowner, so
by your logic you ought to stand up and take your hat off when an instrumental version of it is played, as at the Olympics.

Just the Star Spangled Banner mention made me think of that.

I am with your position on the excess ornament hanging on that tune.

I wouldn't stand for the anthem even before I knew that Key was a slave owner. I just don't get this thing about thinking that the place that
you live or are from is special and must be honored and revered.

Okay, let's review here.
I post a link to a version of the anthem that I very much enjoyed
listening to.
You respond "FUCK the national anthem, it was written by a slave owner."
*Then* you say you have no objection to what it sounds like, you only
have a problem with people wanting you to show reverence.
Well, nobody asked you to show reverence. I said I liked this version,
I didn't say "Stand up, take your hat off, and listen to it." I said I enjoyed listening to it and you said "FUCK the national anthem, it was written by a slave owner."
Or did you say "Covfefe?" Just as meaningful.
