M.L.K. Had a dream! I don't think this was it! ____________________________ State of the City Shocker: Controversial National Anthem Local jazz singer performs different version of song Wednesday, 02 Jul 2008, 7:40 AM MDT ![]() Jazz singer Rene Marie stirred up controversy when she changed the national anthem during a performance prior to the Denver Mayor's State of the City address. July 1, 2008 DENVER - It was a shocker at the annual State of the City address. Denver's mayor delivered the speech, but it's what happened before he spoke that received all of the attention and has everyone talking Wednesday. The city asked local jazz singer Rene Marie to sing the Star Spangled Banner before Tuesday’s speech. But she performed a different version of the national anthem. She took the music from the Star Spangled Banner and sang lyrics from the Black National Anthem instead. "If anyone has a right to be angry it is probably me,” says Mayor John Hickenlooper. “I guess what I feel most is deeply disappointed." Hickenlooper says she apologized to him. "What she said was that she was very sorry, she did not mean any disrespect, that she was trying to make a creative expression for her love of the country." Share your opinion and see what others are saying about changing the words to the national anthem Nevertheless many people, including city councilman Charlie Brown, were really upset. "Is this a long introduction into the real song?” Brown says he wondered. “And then I kept listening and thought, what the heck is going on here? This is not the national anthem I’ve been singing for 50 years." The mayor says no one knew what Rene Marie had planned. "She said there was only herself, her husband, and her musical mentor were the only three people in that room that knew she was going to do this hybrid of two songs together."

| You bet! It's all part of the hypocrisy! The same people that whine about bringing everyone together, are the same ones tearing this country apart!

Sure there are left wing Jews. There are also right wing Jews. There are homosexuals and straight people. There are also blacks, Indians, Chinese, and Latinos (Guillermo de Torro is probably the "hottest" director today). Generally speaking, the studios have only one ambition: make movies that people will pay to see. The film industry is all over the map with respect to their politics, and presents a real range of views. Where does "Juno" fit, for instance? Everyone is trendy-liberal latte sipping and full of irony-- yet the film has a strong anti-abortion message. Last year's "The Pursuit of Happyness" is worth considering in the context of this thread, since it also stars Will Smith. Although it presents some liberal hot button issues (race, single parent), its a feel good, "you can make it if you play by the rules" Horatio Alger story . . . a message any conservative would be comfortable with.

The common denominator: if no one goes to see your "message" movies, you don't get to make any more. | |
