      The critiques are not hate. this country is going down the toilet because everyone has all this ego and think their mediocrity is just incredible. It was a mediocre performance that was stiff, off tempo and pretty much a waste of energy. These kids must not get out much to be so impressed by this. Go look at Mike Shrieves drum performance at Woodstock at age 19-that was incredible.

I love the US just as much as anyone, but I see no harm in being creative and playing the national anthem on any kind of instrument, from a trumpet to an electric guitar. There's literally *no* harm in it whatsoever, It's still the national anthem.
