Don't know who watched the Super Bowl last night, but if you did, what did you think about the National Anthem? I think I would have rather heard it sung by a group of school children than hear it screeched like that.

I'm wondering why at these big events, they always get some celebrity to sing it who feels the need to add extra notes, screech it or forget the words... Why can't they find someone that can really sing, and just sing it the way it was written? Oh, and maybe rehearse it enough so that they can remember the words...

I feel like starting a national movement to bring back the national anthem as it was written. And maybe pass legislation to make it illegal to add extra notes or to insert other words...
