DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO A WATERED DOWN VERSION OF THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER?  YOU SEE IN THE ORIGINAL WORK BY FRANCIS SCOTT KEY THERE IS JUST TOO MUCH MENTION OF GOD AND OUR DEPENDENCE AS A NATION UPON HIM FOR MAIN STREAM MEDIA TASTE. THEN THERE IS THE MAIN STREAM  MEDIA'S FIXATION ON SOUND BYTES AND TIME LIMITS. THE ACTUAL ANTHEM AS WRITTEN BY FRANCIS SCOTT KEYS IS ABOUT TWICE AS LONG AS THE USUAL VERSION PLAYED BEFORE ATHLETIC  EVENTS OR EVEN  PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURATIONS. EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD HEAR THE ACTUAL ANTHEM AT LEAST ONCE IN A LIFE TIME VICE THE MEDIA EDITED VERSION. SO PLAN ON LISTENING TWICE AS LONG AS YOU USUALLY DO TO THE EDITED VERSION AND REALLY LISTEN FOR THE FIRST TIME TO THE REAL UNALTERED NATIONAL ANTHEM OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. CLICK ON ANY OF THE URL TYPE LINKS ON THIS PAGE AND CRANK UP YOUR SOUND.
