Unwanted: State Anthem

I’ve already gone on record saying that I think the U’s fight song is the most retardedest of retarded fight songs. Seriously. I hate it.

Bob Collins brought up the legislature’s need to address the glaring lack of a state anthem, even though that ridiculous “Hail Minnesota” is already recognized as the state song (song != anthem). According to HF2961, not enough people know that one. Because, you know, more people will be more familiar with a completely new song.

Fortunately MPR has already sent Ann Reed out on the trail. If anyone can work up a state anthem about Minnesota, it’s Ann Reed. She’s folksy like that. At least with Ann Reed you know you won’t end up with anything like this.

    what you refer to as the U’s fight song in that other post is not the fight song. it’s a chant of some sort.

    Minesota Rouser is the U’s fight song, and I find it to be quite on par with anything else.

    I’m a big fan of hearing Colling on the Current in the PM drive for a few minutes and I love his quirky banter with Lucia. It’s refreshing to see someone connect both with the news and with the people it effects even if it is about the state anthem.

    I don’t listen to The Current, but I certainly get the idea that Bob Collins is quirky. I’m sure he’d love to hear you say that.
