(16,646 posts)They so often get it right. After 9/11, they played the Star Spangled Banner. That's a heck of a gesture considering that the song is about the US winning a battle with the British. The British virtually define the concept of "class". And it draws such a contrast with the current Moron in Chief.
I remember that after 9/11. For weeks afterward, whenever I would watch that clip I would tear up.

and kudos to the poster in the comments that used the term f*ckpickle for the White House occupant. That got a real chuckle out of me.

I couldn't tell from the video if it was a tuba or a bass trombone but somebody was nailing the bass line.
