Maryland State Song, nixed...

[andy7171]

Maryland, my Maryland will no longer be played by the University of Maryland marching band. The Civil War song to the tune of Oh Tannenbaum, makes mention of Northern Scum and refers to Lincoln as a despot in late verses.

I think this is a bit unusual, because its not racial charged. It was written in 1861 when Union soldiers unloaded and walked across town to transfer trains further south. The author was upset about his friend being killed in the riots following.

Fun fact: The Baltimore Riots of 1861 was the first blood shed of the Civil War.

One step closer to racial harmony in the US!

[Ibanez]

The song was created prior to the Civil War and calls the President a despot and tyrant...

Zero percent chance anyone knows the lyrics to the song other than Maryland My Maryland.

That's kind of dumb, because the band plays an instrumental with no lyrics. Don't like the lyrics? Fine, have the state perform the legislative technicality of removing the offensive verse.

That's what Kentucky did with My Old Kentucky Home. That one I understand, because tens of thousands of people at the Kentucky Derby were singing, "It's summer, the darkies are gay!" in unison. So they changed "darkies" to "children" when the darkies got uppity about it.

Problem solved.

Hell, the Redskins fight song used to be...

Hail to the Redskins
Hail to victory
Braves on the war path
Fight for old Dixie
Scalp em, Swamp em,
We will take em big score
Read em, Weep em Touchdown,
We want heaps more
Fight on... Fight On...
Til you have won,
Sons of Washington

[93henfan]

Fuck the Redskins.

I got to break out my Eagles golf umbrella this morning. Only got a little flack from the homeless fucks on 4th St. They were too drunk or in schizo delirium to come at me though.

They do seem to be the only people in the city who remember when the Skins were good though.

It won't be long before the SFWs wants the Battle Hymn of the Republic banned for religious reasons.

[GannonFan]

This, like many of the knee-jerk reactions to history, is dumb. Don't like the later verses? Then don't sing the later verses. The Star Spangled Banner has a weird and possibly controversial allusion to slavery in its third verse. Of course, the natural reaction to that is to say "wow, I didn't even know the Star Spangled Banner had more than one verse".

The despot's heel is on thy shore,
Maryland!*
His torch is at thy temple door,
Maryland!
Avenge the patriotic gore
That flecked the streets of Baltimore,
And be the battle queen of yore,
Maryland! My Maryland!

Hark to an exiled son's appeal,
Maryland!
My mother State! to thee I kneel,
Maryland!
For life and death, for woe and weal,
Thy peerless chivalry reveal,
And gird thy beauteous limbs with steel,
Maryland! My Maryland!

Thou wilt not cower in the dust,
Maryland!
Thy beaming sword shall never rust,
Maryland!
Remember Carroll's sacred trust,
Remember Howard's warlike thrust,-
And all thy slumberers with the just,
Maryland! My Maryland!

Come! 'tis the red dawn of the day,
Maryland!
Come with thy panoplied array,
Maryland!
With Ringgold's spirit for the fray,
With Watson's blood at Monterey,
With fearless Lowe and dashing May,
Maryland! My Maryland!

Come! for thy shield is bright and strong,
Maryland!
Come! for thy dalliance does thee wrong,
Maryland!
Come to thine own anointed throng,
Stalking with Liberty along,
And sing thy dauntless slogan song,
Maryland! My Maryland!

Dear Mother! burst the tyrant's chain,
Maryland!
Virginia should not call in vain,
Maryland!
She meets her sisters on the plain-
"Sic semper!" 'tis the proud refrain
That baffles minions back amain,
Maryland! My Maryland!

I see the blush upon thy cheek,
Maryland!
For thou wast ever bravely meek,
Maryland!
But lo! there surges forth a shriek,
From hill to hill, from creek to creek-
Potomac calls to Chesapeake,
Maryland! My Maryland!

Thou wilt not yield the Vandal toll,
Maryland!
Thou wilt not crook to his control,
Maryland!
Better the fire upon thee roll,
Better the blade, the shot, the bowl,
Than crucifixion of the soul,
Maryland! My Maryland!

I hear the distant thunder-hum,
Maryland!
The Old Line's bugle, fife, and drum,
Maryland!
She is not dead, nor deaf, nor dumb-
Huzza! she spurns the Northern scum!
She breathes! she burns! she'll come! she'll come!
Maryland! My Maryland!

Delaware crabs were forty bucks a dozen when I went to Sambos two weeks ago, Maryland.

Crabs served from a shack in the middle of nowhere are cheaper?

Yep! Over 50% cheaper, and bigger. And 100 miles closer. And no taxes. And no ghetto monkeys outside. And no asshole drivers on the way!

What's not to like?

Lincoln WAS a despot.

Lincoln WAS a despot.

And Lincoln was NO friend of the blacks. At this rate, our national anthem in 2 years will be "Gin and Juice" by Snoop Dogg.
