Nashville Bongo Drums anthem……. Worst ever???

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

I wouldn't expect that kind of dirty hippy behavior out of Nashville. Great for the unintentional comedy though lol

Most of the alt-country scene resides in Nashville also and they are all anarchist gutter punks that turned to outlaw country to make money or phish hippie jam band dudes that turned to Flying Burrito Brothers and Byrds style psyche country to make money… this guy is in his own stratosphere though.

My dad and I have had a thing going where we like to joke about the length of the performance of the US anthem and criticize performers who really drag it out. We’ve even run a stopwatch (well I use the timer on my phone these days) on the rendition at the Super Bowl ever since Super Bowl XXX. This year it came in at two minutes and five seconds, but there’s always a margin of error of a few seconds. Last year it was 1:42.

This could work as a post-apocalyptic movie intro.

Well, good for him. Whoever wrote the music is deaf.

One of the most famous classical composers was deaf.

The composer attributed to the music that is the current US anthem was John Stafford Smith, at least for the original melody that the current music is based on (a panel of five musicians took the melody and arranged it in its current form much later). The melody was the official anthem of the Anacreontic Society in the 18th century in London, the society being a "gentlemen's club" (no, not the modern definition of that) for people towards the high end of the social hierarchy. It's arguably not much more than a drinking song that they used after dinner in order to kick off the later portion of their monthly meetings that was meant to be light-hearted revelry.

You'd think that if any country would have a drinking song as their national anthem, it would be the Republic of Ireland. :sarcasm:
