National Anthem

[dadymat]

Defend our national anthem is it now?

ummm, yes what the hell do you think my post was for?....to debate military funerals with you?

Against what? Your idea of musical taste?

before writing something so baseless and ignorant, maybe you ought to read a little more....first , i made another post right after the one you cant seem to let go of that CLEARLY stated that i have no problem what so ever with how she chose to perform it.......second...my post was in response to a person who says he doesnt think they should do the SSB at games...so no not because its against my musical taste....

I am pointing out that the underlying basis and the entire point you are trying to make is just plain wrong. That's not nit-picking. That's demonstrating how you have no point whatsoever.

there was a point there ,but in your rush to argue you missed the simplicity of the message i was trying to send

Deal with it

now leave me alone, while i deal with it

I miss the old Cowboys tradition of having a single trumpeter come out and play the National Anthem. Tommy Loy did that for so many years at Texas Stadium. It was always classy and well done.

Leave you alone? If you want to be left alone then do not continue the argument.

Now let's review what you quoted in your response versus what you now claim you meant.

There were two quotes and just to show how full of feces you are I am going to quote what Yoshi quoted in his second response. The first was just his opinion on the thread in his OP.

I thought she did well. The national anthem is the most overrated thing in sports entertainment.

I just didn't realize there were laws about how a song can be sung. I'm going to tweet her and let her know that the national anthem police will be coming for her shortly.

There isn't. The people complaining just sound like a bunch of traditionalists and nationalists.

I missed the part where he said to boycott the anthem.

So exactly what message were you trying to send? That you think that some random Army bugler that you have never met and will probably never meet playing at a military funeral likes the national anthem.

That you feel the need to defend the SSB from a college students comments on how he does not like the song by speaking for a guy playing Taps?

It was gratuitous and ill-conceived. Why not pick other musicians that people may respect/like that do not play the anthem and speak for them too?

Here are some other ideas:

And that last one was definitely irony. Hendrix too was vilified by 'traditionalists' for his rendition of the song. Nevermind that it started off as a poem anyway.

But defend away from Yoshi speaking his mind about what he feels. Forget about that tradition as we must defend against it.

U.S. Open Vs. Dallas Cowboys

I think more people saw last night.

:laugh2: A lot more people I would say.

About time we move this debate over to the "off topic" zone so this heated debate can continue while the ones who have moved on can see posts about Cowboys football!
