Today’s Earworm

Today is the 197th anniversary of the bombardment of Fort McHenry in Baltimore Harbor.  An American prisoner named Francis Scott Key jotted down a poem that captured the moment, which later became the Star Spangled Banner.

I’ve always thought it fitting that our national anthem was a poem about us getting our butts kicked but not giving up intertwined with a drinking song.

    Woo! Ft. McHenry is named after my great-great-great-great-…-great grand uncle, who incidentally was known for not playing well with others. Fitting.
