Re: [JPL] Shades of Felicano & Hendrix in the 60s. René Marie stirs it up

[Jae Sinnett]

You would be right Ed that for some it doesn't matter. Any alteration is a problem. Part of me wonders though if the splat really is all because of the fact she altered the anthem or is it just as much about what she chose to superimpose over it? That I suspect we won't really know in truth because that answer has to come from a different place. It's easier to complain that she altered the anthem. What's ironic here is that the "poem"(anthem)...stood alone initially and was later superimposed over a harmonic structure...taken from another composition. By that point it took congress over 100 years after it was written to decide if it should be our anthem. Interesting.
