[DAWGS1.sixpack]

I know it’s NOLA but damn!!

Context?

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Maybe this?

Maybe Dawgs1 prefers Roseanne's dulcet tones. **

Love NOLA, the culture, the food, the jazz and the SAINTS but you don’t disrespect the National Anthem. PERIOD!!

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Well, they didn't make the National Anthem sound like it was a love song like Marvin Gaye did...

 

[wdawg44]

Marvin Gaye was a bad mother 17er!

You do know that the theme of the Star Spangled Banner is taken from "To Anacreon in Heaven" which is a 1700s song about drinking and sex?

From NPR:

WESTMINSTER CHOIR COLLEGE: (Singing) And besides I'll instruct you, like me, to intwine the Myrtle of Venus with Bacchus' Vine.
CORNISH: Francis Scott Key got rid of those naughty bits about intwining and the myrtle of Venus and wrote his own words - oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave, o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

How is that disrespecting the anthem? Certainly different and I can’t say I really enjoyed it all that much but I don’t think they disrespected the anthem.

It’s based on an Irish drinking song. Let’s not get all high and mighty.

 

[RivaDawg]

From NOLA; thought it was GREAT!

Never disrespect Irish drinking songs. That'll make some drunk Paddy mad.

 

[Cooterpoot]

I thought it was awesome!

More the "melody" as opposed to the 'theme'... but your point is well taken.

This might be the first thread I’ve wanted to see a Fighting Irish comment…

That didn't bother me as much as, "Stand if you want to." Just say, "You can stand."

I know I'll probably catch crap for that but I really don't care for it but that's me I'm a kind of a patriotic person.

Just a question but has the NPR ever put out a story with a positive spin to it about American patriotism or traditions? Asking for a friend.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Your point is well taken too.

Theme does have different meanings.

Home of the brave. I personally find it pretty brave to knowingly take on an onslaught of never ending hate just because you want a world with less violence in it.

How am I promoting hate and violence?

Did you read or listen to the article? It isnt a negative spin- its simply telling the history of the song. There is nothing negative about the story.

I know I'll probably catch crap for that but I really don't care for it but that's me I'm a kind of a patriotic person.

By taking this position, you imply those who do not stand are unpatriotic. That is laughable.
Whether or not someone stands has no bearing on their patriotism.

FTR- I stand.

My question wasn't about that story. Where did I say it was?

 

[mstateglfr]

That rendition was certainly creative and unique. Not what I like to hear but definitely something new.

The beat was interesting, though it sounded like the quality of a 7th grade jazz band. I probably don't appreciate Jazz properly.

 

[DAWG61]

Come on man. You obviously aren't and I obviously didn't say you were.

No I was only talking about my patriotism not yours or anybody else's there you go again making comments for me that I never made. I never said it wasn't patriotic.

I should've known you would show up I'm out of here.

You did not explicitly say it was.
Are you really claiming your question had nothing to do with the linked article you replied to?

DYK Andy Roddick is the last American to be ranked #1 and last American to win a singles major. He'd probably find it disrespectful that you've been rocking his wife's tits for your avatar for the last 15 years straight. Maybe not though.

See my answers below. I'm gonna go and argue with someone else who thinks they know more about what I'm saying than I do myself.

When someone declares they are one way due to a behavior and that is a traditionally virtuous behavior, the opposite is implied.
You can claim it isnt, but come in now.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

OK my bad.
