"The Star-Spangled Banner is an awkward, unsubtle piece of music, but in the hands of great musicians it can be quite effective. Why is the American national anthem the way it is? How did it come to be both a spectacle of the mediocre and the sublime? ..."

unopposed to adopting an unofficial anthem.

how 'bout "America Pie". everyone seems to know the words. or at least every single person that likes that song.

maybe set a new trend. start the song as the teams come out on the field and keep singing until someone scores.

and this would be a good match, since very little people could sing it*, but great for, at least, the start of the 2nd half, especially if you're down and behind...a real uplifter...



*unless we could get all the schoolchildren to learn how to belt it out...would humble all other anthems (and world citizens) at the olympics

Music has been around for a long time. It seduces us.

Sometimes we don't hear what it is really telling us as we really don't have all the information. You'll go through life picking up pieces and putting the puzzle together. Then grief strikes and your world crumbles.

That's when you really hear it for the first time. Music had been waiting for you for a long time.

Welcome to the machine.
