No! My Country 'Tis Of Thee! Every American watching is changing the words! Diamond Jubilee on television is boring. zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Is boring? No, you are bored. Boring is in the mind of the beholder. If you don't like it, don't watch.

The British system in which the national icon has no power is far superior to the messed up US system in which some politician can assume dictatorial powers by wrapping himself in the flag and claiming to be the state (just like Louis XIV).

My Country "Tis of Thee 1831
God Save The Queen 1745
OK, which is the rip-off? At least it's not as bad as the national anthem or God Bless America. But not as good as America The Beautiful and greatly inferior to This Land.

To the OP: agreed...its BORING.

Stevie Wonder still cranking out the tunes was the only thing worth watching last night - Stevie's still got it, and doing it live. Loved his hat-wearing bass player too!

Personally, I dont see the point of having a monarchy and paying for it when the monarchy no longer has any power. But, I guess if they see the need in keeping it then so be it.

Like the Sex Pistols said, "Because tourists are money!"

100 percent of what you write is drivel and boring. You need to step away from negativity and find the positive person in you. You just might be happy with yourself for the first time.

Guy will show up anywhere there is an audience and someone to guide him out onstage. He has become an award show novelty act. Disappointing.

Stevie Wonder was great, as was McCartney.

Yeah Stevie was great! Tom Jones still has it too. McCartney and Elton though you could hear thier age creeping up on them. But McCartney is like what, 70? He's still pretty damn good.

I caught something on about the Queen's visits to Canada and I forgot she was in Windsor 1984. Then when they said she was there in October that year I realized the only news on this side of the river that month was the Tigers and the World Series. Which would be nice to dominate the news again in a future October.

Holy Crap! Holly Megahertz has passed judgement on me!! Little Holly, er, Polly (Anna), finds fault with my negativity! He/She is right!!! I am so ashamed! P-leeeez Holly, do not lose faith in me! I shall mend my driveling ways and think only on important matters! All the while smiling and sending you cheery vibes. Why, I feel better already! And all of you Yanks out there enjoying the way we former colonists protested British rule by rewriting God Save The Queen, wipe those grins off your faces! It's not nice to upset Holly or the commonwealth!
