A few weeks ago, I ran across a link on facebook to a hard-rock youtube video of The Star Spangled Banner by Madison Rising. While I'm generally more of a moderate rock kind of guy, this new version of America's national anthem appealed to me. Now, for some inexplicable reason, facebook has been deleting the link to the video from people's walls. Accusations of censorship are running rampant. It's probably just the work of a few disgruntled facebook employees who don't like the video for whatever reason, but some people say it's a concerted effort at censorship. All I know is, the video link I shared on my wall vanished recently, just as it has from many other people's walls.
You'll see there is nothing offensive, pornographic, or otherwise ban-worthy in this video. Your 5 year old could watch this and hear the song without any ill effects. It's a very patriotic American message.
I reposted the link on my profile page today. We'll see how long it stays there this time. Feel free to share it on your fb walls, as well. It's worth a listen.
