Bear, your recent interest in all things black is starting to seem a little creepy.

The so-called "Black National Anthem" is a beautiful song and easy to sing.

Why the "Star Spangled Banner" was chosen as the U.S. national anthem has always made me wonder why. It's hard to sing. It's about war.

I would much prefer the lovely America the Beautiful for our anthem.

I agree completely BBB... when I hear Ray Charles' rendition of American the Beautiful makes my eyes tear up.

Our national anthem is a mediocre poem about a forgotten battle in a minor war set to a bawdy drinking song (but, of course, I revere it with all my patriotic heart.)

The comments attached to BiPolarBear's article are amusing (for their civility and lack of intolerance).

Proves nothing. Mr. Charles could make anything sound good.

Is "creepy" the new word? It seems to be all over this site lately.

Kinda creepy, innit?

Actually, I've noticed this too, and thought it was peculiar when it started working its way into the spoken language.

Yeah, it's not a word I like.

creep·y (krp)
adj. creep·i·er, creep·i·est Informal
1. Of or producing a sensation of uneasiness or fear, as of things crawling on one's skin: a creepy feeling; a creepy story.
2. Annoyingly unpleasant; repulsive: the creepy kids next door.

I was using the second usage. Is there a problem?

No, Drewdad - it's just been used so much lately, like a buzz word... made me wonder how out of touch I am.
