It’s too late. It’s a terrible anthem, but it’s OUR terrible anthem. Some of the greatest people the world has yet seen as well as folks I care for dearly have sung the silly song with tears in their eyes. It’s played over their graves, and it no longer matters that it’s a stupid awkward tune about a flag. If the tune were “Camptown Races” and the flag a skull & crossbones, the tears would still come and we would still stand up at the ballpark, while some celebrity of no singing ability butchers “doo dah , doo dah” before a solemn & reverent crowd.
