I am partial to country music, as evidenced by my posting of Mark Wills’ new video and whatnot. I’ve taken some flak on CJ’s site (I’m also a writer there on occasion) for stating that I think country musicians are more patriotic. There’s been some public flaying of Christina Aguilera for her, shall we say, “less than stellar” version of the National Anthem during the Super Bowl.
I found this online and it moves me beyond tears. Yes, Gretchen Wilson cracked a note at the very end. It still is an incredible version all-around, and head’s above Christina’s version. The Declaration of Independence, the Pledge of Allegiance, Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech are all rolled into this.
