The "Stars Spangled Banner has been in the news lately after eleven-year-old Sebastien De La Cruz sang the song at one of the NBA final games in San Antonio last week.
I'm not a big fan of the National Anthem, but De La Cruz's age and charm make up for the fact that it's hard to sing and has a limited perspective.
Would "This Land Is Your Land" make a better anthem? Hard to imagine it at ball games.
My fantasy is for "This Is My Song" to be the anthem for every country--a world anthem I guess. (Here's another version with stained class windows in the background.)
