      I have long screamed at my TV for people to just sing the anthem as it is written. Its power comes from its simplicity and lack of showiness. Yet people constantly try to gussy it up and show off. It's a humble song. The song isn't about how awesome we are and we conquer all and look at us, yea! It's literally about how the symbol of our country survived through an intense attack on a fort, survived as the symbol of our freedom and bravery.
      Jack Black did the spirity of the National Anthem great honor with his performance. You can hear the deep respect in his voice. It isn't about him, it's about the anthem.
