The Star Spangled Banner

Charlie Puth will sing this to open the Super Bowl on Sunday. While I’m only vaguely aware of his music, (not my taste), he’s an accomplished songwriter, performer and producer who has won a number of awards.

I’m reminded of a line from a spectacularly failed Broadway musical called Dance A Little Closer, (it closed on Opening Night! The producers even cancelled the party).

A character said, “I’m skeptical about a national anthem that begins with Oh, oh!”
