This came up in a resurrected Frank thread about “God Bless America” and stuff. Does the SDMB have an anthem? Do we want one? I of course think everything that lacks an anthem should find something vaguely progadelic, maybe by Pink Floyd, but quite possibly by prolific Aussie trance band Church. I also know that this is such a unique opinion that anyone else I meet online who thinks is most likely one of my sockpuppets that has somehow dissociated, and if I ever met anyone in real life who agreed with me I’d still wonder about them. ---
