Yes, March 3rd is our National Anthem day of celebration

National Anthem Day

When : Always March 3rd


The Star-Spangled Banner is the national anthem of the United States of America.
It was written by Francis Scott Key. National Anthem Day celebrates this song, and
the rich history behind its creation. The song officially became our national anthem on March 3, 1931.


Celebrate today by proudly flying the flag. Also listen to and sing the Star-Spangled Banner.



A rich history..........

Many people think the Star Spangled Banner was written during the Revolutionary War.
It was actually written during the war of 1812 (1812-1814).

In August 1814, the British army detained Dr. William Beanes as a prisoner of war.
He was a friend of Francis Scott Key. On Sept. 13, 1814, Francis Scott Key and a U.S.
negotiator boarded a British vessel where Beanes was being held. He negotiated his friends' release.

But then, Francis Scott Key was detained that day along with the negotiator. They were held until
after the attack on Fort McHenry, which guarded the harbor and city of Baltimore.

He watched the bombardment of the fort from the ship. The next morning, he was ecstatic to
see that the American flag was still flying over Fort McHenry. This historic event inspired
Francis Scott Key to write "The Star-Spangled Banner" the following day (September 14, 1814).



Correcting the confusion.........

A few people incorrectly assumed that National Anthem Day is September 14, the day
the song was written. This is incorrect. National Anthem Day is every March 3rd, in
celebration of the day that congress made the Star-Spangled Banner our national anthem.

David Geffen Is "You're So Vain": Did Carly Simon Reveal Song Inspiration?

First Posted: 02-26-10 08:43 AM | Updated: 02-28-10 10:49 PM

UPDATE:
Maybe not.

While Simon does whisper "David" backwards, as reported below, she supposedly also whispers the name "Warren" backwards elsewhere on the same album redo. Also, Simon reportedly wasn't mad at Geffen until two years after "You're so Vain" was recorded.


PREVIOUSLY:
According to an interpretation of a clip of a remastered version of "You're So Vain," Carly Simon named David Geffen as the target of the song.

When the song is played backwards, at least as heard in the clip, a voice whispers "David."

Geffen was the head of Simon's record label at the time, and was supposedly paying more attention to Joni Mitchell.

That would mean it is not about exes Cat Stevens, James Taylor, Warren Beatty, Mick Jagger or Kris Kristofferson.
