Mooningchild,

Sinclair's record was played on CBC Radio's Musical Almanac this morning. On the record, Sinclair read an edited version of his original essay with 'The Battle Hymn of the Republic' playing in the background. The performing rights were registered by SOCAN. I had hoped that these qualifications would allow 'I Love America' to run the quarter miles as a pedigreed Mudcat musical topic but I may have eaten too many dried out racetrack pizzas and spent too long at the two dollar window. You seem to have a higher standard. Could you please explain?
