I can't stand the way any pop singer sings the national anthem. They
haven't sung it since they were in grade school and they've not only
forgotten the words (gawd forbid they should refresh their memories
before showtime), they've forgotten the tune as well. Well, to be
honest their range is probably two notes and that song spans an octave
and a half.
