I think there's more artistic integrity in a Chuck Berry song than in a "concept album" by some pretentious pop musician.
Speaking of pop music, outside of contemporary country artists, do any of these performers actually sing live when on stage? Do any of them not require technology to keep them in key? Can any of them play an instrument while singing?
I'd rather have a whole stadium sing the National Anthem together at the beginning of a sports event, even an expensive, major one, than listen to some pop star, from the A to the D List, render her interpretation of it. Really, I'm glad I'm not standing above Francis Scott Key's grave when she's doing so, for all of the spinning that must be going on.
Also, don't change the lyrics of "America the Beautiful" to fit the transient standards of the contemporary age. It was a poem written by a woman of intellectual substance to celebrate the physical wonder of our country and God's favor towards those who tend to it. Katherine Ward was a proper scholar and poet. She taught at Wellesley in the 19th century, for heaven's sake. To make her bona fide to 21st century audiences, I'll also mention that she was gay. If you don't like her words, write your own dang national song.
However, since you can't play an instrument, sing on key, or read music, I doubt that you could. Maybe you could put together a concept album, though.
Come to think of it, can you imagine what a dreary business a "social justice" national anthem would be? The social justice perspective presumes forms of original sin, based on race, religion, and sex, without any opportunity for redemption. In other words, it's neo-Marxist atheism. Cool song, bro.
As ever, I find Alex Trebek obtuse. I look forward to his retirement. Well, unless he's replaced by Matt Lauer. In which case, please come back, Alex. Now I have to go yell at these kids who are on my lawn.
