John Legend is standing with Colin Kaepernick. Or, rather, not standing. The 37-year-old singer tweeted his support for the controversial 49ers quarterback, who has been refusing to stand for the national anthem until there is a "significant change" in the oppression of people due to their race in the United States. After tweeting an article about the "Star Spangled Banner" that claims an often unsung verse in the Francis Scott Key tune "literally celebrates the murder of African-Americans," Legend called the song "weak." "My vote is for "America the Beautiful," he said, offering the song as a new national anthem.

★★★★☆ Pop culture has forever promoted the image of a white knight riding into town on horseback as part of the American psyche. In the late 1960s - with President Nixon up to no good, the Vietnam War taking its toll and the Civil Rights Moment dividing a nation - a much-needed hero zoomed across millions of television screens on ABC's Wide World of Sports. His steed was a Harley Davidson and he wore white leather from head to toe, trimmed with red and blue - clothed in the Star Spangled Banner and an embodiment of the American Dream.

Ann Wilson sang the national anthem for the San Francisco 49ers-Seattle Seahawks Nfc Championship game on Jan. 19. and the fan reaction on Twitter was less than kind!
Ann Wilson, lead singer of Heart, must have been having an off-day (and an off-key day) when she sang the national anthem for the San Francisco 49ers-Seattle Seahawks Nfc Championship game on Jan. 19. The rendition was mediocre, to be kind, and the fan reaction on Twitter was absolutely vitriolic! See what the fans had to say.

Paws up, Little Monsters! After a hip injury in February that derailed her Born This Way Ball Tour and confined her to a (24-karat gold-plated wheelchair), Lady Gaga is slowly making her way back into the spotlight. The singer will take the stage at the MTV Video Music Awards on Aug. 25, when she'll perform the new (and still untitled) single from her upcoming fourth studio album, Artpop. Gaga had taken the stage briefly for a performance of the "Star Spangled Banner" at New York's Gay Pride Parade Kickoff Rally on June 28, but the Vma performance will mark Gaga's official return.

We are "proudly to all of the states and the uniteds" after declaring independence from Canada, according to the cute kids Jimmy Kimmel asked to explain the "Star Spangled Banner" "Strong Singled Banner." Oh, and the song itself is about monkeys.
Telling these children to define "ramparts" doesn't even come close to Kimmel's more mean-spirited pranks, so please go ahead and enjoy the highly amusing results.
Happy 4th everyone!

Happy 4th of July, fellow patriots! Sorry – it’s just such an exciting day. That time every year were we can come together as Americans and watch a Jaws marathon in our basement den before screaming the national anthem on the front lawn at 3am without fear of prosecution… at least not without at least one verbal warning from the cops. And on that note, here’s a list of movie renditions of the “Star Spangled Banner” sung in the way our founding fathers intended: under great duress and during something terrible. 8. Iron Man Rocks a B.B. King Concert in Heart And Souls This is the most adorably stupid film in the entire world. As you watch Robert Downey Jr. gets harassed by a team of ghost friends you can’t help but to – for some ungodly reason – enjoy yourself. Like a library basement puppet show, you know you’re probably a little too old to be...

Sebastien De La Cruz came back, he sang, he triumphed. Two nights after his performance of the national anthem before Game 3 inexplicably sparked a slew of racist tweets, the 11-year-old mariachi singer once again did the "Star Spangled Banner" honors before Game 4 of the NBA Finals in San Antonio. And the crowd went wild! (And here's hoping the haters manage to check themselves this time around.) Also before tip-off, with the San Antonio Spurs leading the Miami Heat in the series 2-1, Spurs coach Greg Popovich slammed the treatment De La Cruz received after his winning performance on Tuesday. "I would like to say that I would be shocked or surprised by the comments," Popovich...
