PDC - you are absolutely right about God Bless America, my apologies for using "national anthem" in my comments. I did not mean to mix the two together - that is a huge difference.   I think this discussion has been mixing the two and I apologize.

I never cared for G.B.A. either. Was it the N.Y. Rangers that used the Kate Smith version as a rally song?   I'm not sure if I would boo it though.
