Could Bruce Springsteen compose the new anthem of the United States?
That is the question raised Vanity Fair and 60 Minutes (CBS). The space has more than 40 years on the air and in each issue offers three reports that analyze in depth the current situation.
This time, both media have joined forces to ask the American people what artist would compose the new anthem of the country (in case you want to replace). The survey found that 22% of voters would like to see Bruce Springsteen was in charge of making such a prestigious commission, earning Dolly Parton (19%) and Stevie Wonder (18%), which would stand at the podium far ahead rated from other artists. Further behind in the voting would find Bob Dylan (11%), the renowned composer John Williams (8%), rapper Jaz-Z (8%) and Madonna (5%).
The choice of the Boss is not at all surprising, as demonstrated in ample occasions his patriotism. In addition, Springsteen has been recognized by many politicians of his country, such as Barack Obama, Chris Christie (Governor of New Jersey) or Martin O'Malley (Governor of Maryland), so that would be easy for you to show their support to replace "The Star-Spangled Banner" (now anthem).
Personally, I think the end result was successful. Bruce Springsteen is a champion of his country and has managed to pay homage at a time when it has been necessary, such as with the album 'The Rising', in which most subjects (although some compounds previously) were devoted to 11-S attacks. However, I can not imagine an American anthem composed by John Williams. In fact, I hope you have the opportunity to do for a movie and can once again delight with its melody.
What about you? Who you would have voted?
