For The Love Of Country

It's almost summer. I can already feel the heat swarming my skin. I can see the green grass turn brown. It's just sizzling hot. Much like what happened 2 weeks ago in Arlington, Texas. I know this is late but I still see this issue on TV now. Yes, but I'm not talking about the recent Pacman annihilation of Joshua Clottey, it wasn't the hottest thing that happened that night. I'm talking about Arnel Piñeda singing the national anthem. The NHI condemned the artist for singing it in a different way, where in Arnel's defense was just a way of expressing himself, "Artisitic Freedom" per se. Im not a fan of his and never will be but I don't blame him for doing his own version. If you noticed, the Star Spangled Banner is sang in different ways depending on the artist doing it. Piñeda was just adding a little flavor to the song. It wasn't much after all. Screw NHI. Piñeda did what he was asked to do and that was to sing for our country. No need for such scrutiny.
