Sing it with me, children:
“Like a Crock”.....

That commie bastard. Why does Bob Seeger hate America? Why is he rooting for the terrorists? Why does he want our soldiers to die? Doesn’t he know that if our soldiers don’t hear him sing that song, they immediately put down their weapons and surrender? He’s acting like our soldiers are grown men for crying out loud!

The only thing less American than Bob Seeger is baseball, in my opinion.

He’s right about the anthem.  It’s tough for professionals to sing.  The worst version to me was Whitney Huston’s.

Heck the only Whitney Houston I have is the S.S. Banner.

What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

It’s rather odd to abandon the tradition of singing the National Anthem at such Baseball games, but having said that I wish there was a more serious move in this country to change our national anthem.  It is a TERRIBLY difficult song to sing and there are many other beautiful, singable songs that describe the greatness, power, oportunity, and everything else that is so wonderful in America.

America the Beautiful is one of my favorites....

I think Rob hates me… I mean, just look at the pic he took of me!

I love our national anthem.

Guess I’m dumb or something.

I agree the song is tough to sing.

But I do get emotional everytime I think of the story.

BTW:  My account didn’t come across the latest upgrade so Rob’s listed as the author of that piece that I wrote.

Ha, who every said you were dumb Rob?  I don’t care for the tune much.  Though I stand and remove my cap and (attempt to) sing along every time it’s played…

Spaghetti, that was a joke.  Guess it didn’t come through in text.

I like the music of the anthem.  It’s our song, and I don’t want to change it.

The National Anthem is a fine song.

Unfortunately, condutors/performers have slowed it down so much it becomes almost unberable.  If we would learn to sing it at a quickerpace, with some force It would be great.

The song’s notes range an octave and a half a stretch for the every day singin in the shower type person.  I beleive it is much better played by a military brass band than sung by anyone. (let alone an aging washed up sell out like Bob Segar)

I rather like it played loudly on an electric guitar a la Jimi Hendrix.

I hate all the inflection some people feel they need to put into it.

Wow, it was almost like Aretha Franklin was in my room singing!  But you put in a few too many semi-colons, gave it away....

I think Rob hates me… I mean, just look at the pic he took of me!

You should hear me in the show.  I kill in the shower.

Geez, I wasn’t even the one singing… Rob was......

Just because you sing like Rob doesn’t mean you’ve got talent.

Either you’re joking and I’m just not following or you’re confused.  I never pretended to sing.  I never said I had talent.  I never said I sing like Rob.  I have no idea what you’re getting at…

I think Rob hates me… I mean, just look at the pic he took of me!

Well originally I took your post to be you singing.

After you pointed out my mistake I pretended that you were doing your Rob Port singing impersonation.  A little face saving/joke gesture on my part.

I guess a jokes not funny if no one gets it, but as long as I entertain myself I don’t care.

Good moto for life I get it now.

And I must have missed this one:

holy shit!

Isn’t that a little off topic and very over-enthusiastic?  Random.. and........ spammish.

My favorite performance of the National Anthem is Jamie Kennedy’s:

This is it!

Well, from whatlittle I know, baseball is the only U.S. sport that ever does play the national anthem, so fuck all you all complainants.  Start pipin’ your noisy pipes about football and baseball.

Whose idea was it to require the singing of the National Anthem or “America” at sporting events, or the recital of the Pledge of Allegiance by youngsters in school? Such rituals reek a bit of the propaganda (Deutschland Uber Alles) used by the Third Reich during WW2 to brainwash the German population. Interestingly, one does not find such nonsense as much in other countries today. Are we so unsure of the allegiance of the American people that we need to constantly remind them in an Orwellian manner to swear in unison to their loyalty and stand ceremonially at events like a bunch of lobotomized robots?

I fully agree with Just. The same applies to all that nationalistic overkill we’re being exposed to, meant to keep us waving flags and backing our president’s screwed up agenda. Just consider the Freedom Tower. What the hell kind of a name is that for the project at Ground Zero? It looks like a cheap attempt to get Americans to think there’s a relation between Freedom Tower and “Iraqi Freedom.” The word freedom has nothing to do with the 9/11 attack. Nobody was trying to take away our freedom when they attacked us (please, no long-winded, contorted philosophical explanations about how 9/11 and freedom are associated). It is a poorly veiled attempt to politicize the issue and erect a monument to George W. Bush who is constantly mouthing off about how “they hate freedom,” “Iraqi Freedom,” freedom this, freedom that. Why not just come right out and call the dam thing the Bush Freedom Tower?
