    I just love this, and these guys’ attitude.

    They’ve posted this on their website, in response to some moronic comments by double-digit IQ journolist, Bill Press:
    “The Star Spangled Banner is stupid and embarrassing.”
    and ‘comedian’ Daniel Tosh
    “No one has The Star Spangled Banner on their iPod.”

    They do NOW!

    Holy Sh**tttah!! That was amazing. A tingles, goosebumps, foot stompin and blood pumpin rendition.

    I normally don’t like it when artist put their own twist and change to the anthem, but this one was done tastefully and with positive energy.

    Thanks for sharing it and thanks for posting it.

    The National Anthem as an Irish Jig? No thanks.
    That’s just as out-of-place as the dopified-Whitney-Houston-imitator versions sung at the Super Bowl for the past ten years.

    Very Good! Serious musicians always play Fenders, but two out of three ain’t bad.

    Boobie – lighten up friend. This version was intended as motivational entertainment – kind of like Lee Greenwood and God Bless the USA – yet still showing great respect for our flag, troops and country.

    I wouldn’t want it played at the ball park, but I’m good with it on You Tube.

    This needs to be played on loudspeakers everywhere, all across the USA on election night, with fireworks going off in every town…All night.

    This video has been making the email rounds with the goal of getting 1 million views after the idiotic Press comments. Feel free to send it on. Wonder what # they’re up to?

    Bayou — The Cactus Cuties are outstanding! Those are some powerfully big voices for little girls. Are they sisters or just dolled up to look alike?

    Bitterclinger – Thanks for asking. They are not sisters, rather a group of young talents from Texas. I believe their name derives from the theater where they started performing in. The video is a few years old and was an early gig which a relative recorded at a game. They still perform, I think, but they have many youtubes to watch. There are four now instead of five and the National Anthem is their bread and butter. One gig they did in the past was opening up the MDS marathon for Jerry Lewis.

    The RNC should have these guys at the convention. It would really help Romney.
