Star Spangled Banner
-
As long as it comes from the performers heart as a form of reverence for our country, that is what counts. As we are a country full of diversity, diversity is what we should expect from our Star Spangled Banner. Francis Scott Key wrote this song in the key of life, of an individual's life. That is what we should expect from this song.

Yes, a pub song I believe. But it's all about how those amazing lyrics are placed into that context.
