Singer murders National Anthem at CPAC

My first thought: well, they’re murdering democracy, why not murder everything else.

Then I listened to her. The comment about Ives and Zappa is not too far off. I fully expect someone to harmonize her performance in a youtube reply video and make it work on some kind of post-romantic Gustav Mahler level.

Stravinsky famously re-harmonized the Star Spangled Banner while living in the USA. (It’s a myth that he got arrested for it.)
