    National Anthem

    RE: thanks I will offer an alternate opinion, Sparky: I think that the "Star Spangled Banner" can be sung in a non-traditional way while retaining the intended dignity. Want proof? Listen to Whitney Houston's version of "S-S-B" (prepare to have your socks knocked off) at Super Bowl-XXV (1991)...
