I am sorry if this seems to be aggressive, but I had to react to your comment.
I hear the national anthem daily, in my classroom. It is one of the most beautiful songs I know.
At times like these, only months since Sept 11, the shuttle tragedy, and the escalating tensions around the world, I find myself appreciating every note of that symbolic song even more.
I reflect back to the first time I heard the national anthem played after I donned my BDU's as a basic recruit in the Army. I guarantee the song took on a whole new meaning and representation for me. It is amazing what that tune means to me now. Needless to say, I will not tire listening to it and would encourage others to truly consider what a priviledge it is to hear "Oh say can you see, .... home of the free and land of the brave."

I understand you love of the National Anthem, but Mick was not talking about this himself, passing the words along from another writer.
There are people that are not in love with the song the way you are. Not all of us are so passionate about these type of things. I guess to each his own.
Peace
