One of my classes today at Senior U was about music. We are studying a Great Books book entitled Sound Bites: Big Ideas In Popular Music by a variety of authors. Today we studied Whitney Houston. Her performance at the Superbowl is considered to be the high bar other singers should strive for. Here is a list of some best performances of the Star Spangled Banner. I never really liked Jimi Hendrix's version until today. When he performed that song at Woodstock, as a veteran, he used his guitar to make the sounds of the rockets red glare and bombs bursting in air. Now it all makes sense and I do like his version.
