63. Lmfao. As a classically trained soprano I have to roll my eyes at the high note in our anthem.

I actually quite like our anthem (La Marseillaise is my favorite), and if our kids were still learning music in school with just a bit of voice training and practice (our anthem was meant to be belted out in bars by regular citizens etc after all — not performed by coloratura sopranos) it wouldn’t be challenging to most of our citizens. It’s tragic that music is no longer considered important (thanks repub cuts) even though it’s well known that musical training is fantastic for young minds. Of course Trump never learned the words.
