It May Not Be What Francis Scott Key Had In Mind....

The Star Spangled Banner is the most revered songs in the United States. People from all over the world can't say that they have the luxury & freedom that we do as Americans. Because of the fight that our men & women of the military have committed to do, we can hold our heads up high & say that we live in a great country. Yes, we have problems, but our overall situation is much better than other countries.

Even people that bash the United States & burn our flag - have that right to do so in our country. Do I agree, absolutely not!

In America, I get to go where I want, when I want, and do things that I want, including listen to the music that I want. I recently ran across this video & wanted to share it with our KTEX listeners. It's our national anthem...done by a rock band. I had mixed feelings when I first heard it - it started pretty cool with a nice bass line to it, but then it got "rocky-er"...

From the conservative side of me, I wasn't sure about it - but on the other hand, I thought - that's what makes this country great - these guys just put a different spin on the song. Is it ok? Or, should the national anthem be a solemn song? You decide. Give us feedback on our Facebook fan page where you found this link. Njoy!
