How it should be done

There are few things that hack me off more than "The Star Spangled Banner" performed by the latest no-talent, MTV fueled, video-killed-the-radio-star rejects at any particular major sporting event. In fact, many of them, I consider flat insulting. As a NASCAR fan, I get at least halfway respectful performances of the Anthem, but still not what I'd call "outstanding."

This, ladies and gentlemen, is how it should be done, performed by kids (and I can call em that, as I have almost a decade on more than a few of them) who have an intimate knowledge of what the song means, what the flag stands for, and what having the biggest stick really guarantees you.
