Some may remember this video. If you had a PC with Win95 back in the 90's, this video came out as a freebie w/ the operating system. I remember watching it on my 'fast' Quantex DX2 266 mhz computer that I spent two grand on. This is Edie Brickell, singing 'Good Times, Bad Times'. You may also know that she is the wife of Paul Simon (of Simon and Garfunkel). She had a lukewarm career herself, never making it big, but this is one of my favorites.

After seeing Christina Aguilera screw up the National Anthem in Sunday's Superbowl, I thought I'd offer a look back at Whitney Houston's singing of it in Superbowl XXV. If I remember correctly, the year was 1991 - the year that Scott Norwood missed what was to be the winning field goal 'wide to the right', sending Buffalo home winless in the first of their four Superbowl appearances. HOWEVER, what really made this national anthem special for me, and perhaps for others, was this was during the early days of Operation Desert Storm, in which we were all watching television broadcasts of US warplanes attacking Baghdad, Kuwait and other military targets in Iraq for the first time - while Iraq had launched SCUD missile attacks of their own only a handful of days before the Superbowl. I remember how worried I was about the world. But I also remember how proud I felt as she sung this song. This is how the song should be sung!

I take exception to your introduction; the man does have an 'r' in his pork, though not so much in his cone bread. This feller's accent is, sadly, very familiar. My dad used to make us fried bologna...but I am from Kentucky, after all. My dad's specialties were sweet tea, fried bologna, and grilled cheese sandwiches.
My apologies, Patti. I believe his first 'pork' kinda sounded like 'poke' and I generalized. Lou PS I wasn't bone in Kentucky (my birthplace is Rochester).
