National Anthem

Here's the Youtube link to Joel's performance. Quite nice IMO. I think what the guy with the wedgie assumed was Joel was the clip of Marlee Matlin doing sign language on the field during the song.

Man, people really need to get a life and quit getting bunched up.

Wait a minute...are you saying that you can't catch "the gay" from a TV commercial?

Seriously, if it weren't for self-righteous moral indignation, Free Republic would black out faster than a Kennedy at a distillery.

Someone is either trolling, or seriously need to check themselves. That was one of the most respectful National Anthems I've seen in years. A color guard, a moment's silence for those killed recently, a shot of the troops in Iraq, and a simple, direct rendition without all the R&B caterwalls and whoops and stylings.

The ONLY criticisms I'd make is that they should have made the silence for the fallen troops as well.

And Marlee has held up quite well, I'd say. Always thought she was beautiful.
