A red state conspiracy indeed...
Holy embarrassment, Batman.
The Cards are in the World Series for the second time in three years. In 2004, the musical selections for "The National Anthem" and "God Bless America" were nothing short of cringe-worthy. We're talking Scott Stapp from Creed here, folks.
After watching the talent Detroit (Motown, for God's sakes) threw out, we were hoping that St. Louis could trump the Michigan talent pool. Their highlights featured Bob Seger, John Mellencamp, and Anita Baker.
Sidenote: When Anita Baker appeared onscreen to sing "The National Anthem," I commented that my mom was probably crying. Matt then said, "If your mom is crying right now, she should be shot." I explained that she wouldn't be crying because of her overwhelming patriotism but rather because Anita Baker has always been one of her favorite artists. I then let Matt know that I accidently forgot he was dead inside for about five seconds. I also reminded him that his dad cries a lot for a guy. He said that his dad cries, like, three times a year. Rosey suggested that if I could personally make Matt's dad cry more than four times in one day, Matt should give me a million dollars.
So, you are probably wondering if our talent line-up fares any better than that of 2004. The answer, in brief, is fuck no.
Trace Adkins, Jo Dee Messina, Billy Ray Cyrus, and Sugarland will be doing the honors.
No wonder people think our city is full of conservative hillbillies ready to back the religious right 'til the cows come home. How about some diversity? Good thing no one outside of St. Louis or Detroit is watching this Series.
