Why is there not an option for "NONE OF THE ABOVE" ?
Leave it alone! There is no need to change it! Why change Perfection?

LEAVE THE ANTHEM ALONE ! All you have to do is sing it in a slightly (depending on your range) lower key and you will be surprised at the number of people who will be able to sing with you. I know. I have done this. For five of the last six years, I have sung the Anthem at our local Class A ballpark, and at various charity events, just like it was written. Even people who admit to 'not be able to carry a tune in a bucket' remark about being able to sing along. I am a VietNam era vet and am extremely proud of my Flag, my Country, AND its NATIONAL ANTHEM. Let your professionals write their songs, just keep them out of our NATIONAL ANTHEM !

What are the qualifications to subscribe to vanity Fair.
Conceitedness, being a snob, arrogance, pride, selfishness, being scornfully disdainful, no ones better than me attitude, hate anyone not doing there fair share, but do nothing themselves, deceive, can not stand to be mocked type, a fake, a con, a actor, and a good liar, born a spoiled brat or just a brat? Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all.

New National Anthem - NONE OF THE ABOVE
The Star Spangled Banner is beautiful and expresses what our Founding Fathers wanted for this country, FREEDOM and the only way to get it, BRAVERY. Freedom isn't for the faint of heart. It thanks and remembers all those who sacrificed so we can be free.

[A new National Anthem?]
-----------------------------------------
lets get a lawyer to write it ... while on a ship of one of our enemies ... and base it on a drinking song of our enemy ... then take over 100 years to approve it as the new national anthem.

what's the likelihood of that happening (again)?

Who should compose a new national anthem? No one.

There isn't any need to change our National Anthem. The only change we need where this is concerned are people who respect it and perform it as written. The Anthem is for all to sing and not just some incompetent celebrities. It is not a performance piece.

Exactly klusk66100! Who came up with such a STUPID idea? The people listed as far as who to vote for did not inlcude NONE OF THE ABOVE, as I and many others see NO need or We Don't Need Another anthem..It is part of our national fabric so whomever came up with crazy idea is only out to destroy same.
