Everything changed for America on September 11, 2001 - everything, that is, except for our boring old national anthem. "The Star Spangled Banner" has enjoyed a good run, but it is time to elect a national anthem that truly reflects life and liberty in a post-9/11 America. With this in mind, I would like to nominate Toby Keith's "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American.)"
Additionally, "The Star Spangled Banner" is a difficult song to sing correctly, and I believe the American people are tired of hearing amateurs struggle through it before sporting events. Any average Joe can sing "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue" well enough, as long as that person believes in the spirit of the American way.
