National Anthem Modernization and James Brown
A proposal to replace the "stuffy" U.S. National Anthem with more modern songs like Queen's "We Will Rock You" or James Brown's "Living in America" was discussed. The James Brown track is favored for its up-tempo energy, which would liven up sporting events. This discussion reflects a broader cultural trend of questioning traditional national symbols and their relevance in the modern era.
A controversy involving a provision in the healthcare bill regarding living wills is discussed. While President Obama defended the clause as a way to help seniors document their end-of-life wishes, Representative Virginia Foxx of North Carolina claimed the legislation would put seniors in a position of being "put to death" by the government.
