Thoughts on the Star Spangled Banner

I have to tell you: I saw your entry on the title page and clicked in out of curiosity. …..and almost fell out of my chair laughing. In high school lo these may moons ago, I was literally the ONLY percussionist who could count the cymbal crashes correctly. I still, to this day, cringe when I hear those crashes in the wrong place. This is brilliant, and up there in my list of top-ten-favorite-entries-ever. The only thing that’s missing is the introductive “rolling….rolling…..rolling….dear god still rolling….isn’t he ever really going to start….rolling” heeee!

Wow, from someone who can’t even clap to the beat!! I find bands completely amazing.

I’ve heard it played that way.

random noter: LMAO, that’s just perfect! Never heard it explained so succinctly before… ought to be required reading 🙂

hahaha i love this version of the star spangled banner!! and yes i hate these kinds of fundamentalists, really it is the dumb people who need to make lots of noise and be noticed, smart people know they r smart and don’t need others approval..obviously this way of preaching doesnt attract followers, just riots, like we say in yiddish an empty charity box will make lots of noise when u shake it, but a box that is full makes no noise at all…

thanks 🙂 you too

thanks for those comforting words! i hope youre right

Fun! Brings back memories.

things do always work out, i am not too worried i got some money back from school which should tide me over…thanks for the note, have a good week
