Nice surprise for the other three tenors as Dick butchers the national anthem without their knowledge.
I was at an Argo game years ago when a guy sang part of the rarely if ever heard second or third stanza to O Canada. No one had a clue what was going on but at least it was part of the anthem. He didn't get a great reception. Nine out of Ten people who sing O Canada butcher it these days sounding like country singers singing Ho Canada. However to change lines, what a DICK!!!
I don't care about the butchering of an anthem, as I really believe they have no place at pro sporting events anyway. It was his ridiculous agenda that bothered me.
He was the lone American in the group, so I guess he had a point to make at our anthem's expense. The U.S. is getting more f'd up every week.
The Canadian national anthem's wording has changed 7 times since it's inception.
Too many microbrews popping up.Quote:

I find it interesting that you when you watch CFL games from the 1970s, the players have their helmets on during the anthem. This seemed to change in the 1980s but I don't know why.Quote:
