Doubt it
quote:

Greenwood was born in Los Angeles California & finished high school in Sacramento in June 1960. He passed on track & music scholarships to the College of the Pacific along with a professional baseball career to pursue his passion for music.
quote:

Greenwood says; “USA is the song I always felt the need to write. I wanted to have something that would unite Americans from coast to coast and to instill pride back in the United States. The song represents my family, my community and those men and women who have paid the price for the freedoms we all love and enjoy.”

We all go through that British phase.


Hell, the Stones tried to sound southern.

Whoa... I had no idea he was so old.

While I agree w/the sentiments of "USA", I have to admit musically it's not much of a song.

my fave for absurdity was Sting trying to sound Jamaican: "You don't have to put out the red light..."

It’s funny you bring this up because today I sent the music video of Proud to be an American to a buddy of mine

Joke being we went to an LSU game together a few years ago and while tailgating I joked about how probably the first few games (not in a row) I ever went to starting in the 1990s always had Lee Greenwood there to sing that song

Then sure enough in 2015 or 2016 I was there with my friend and the announcer said before the national anthem “ladies and gentleman, Lee Greenwood!!” And he sang that song.

We looked at each other and laughed our asses off !

Didn't Jim Hawthorne sing that song at an LSU Football game?

It’s a cheesy song but old vets seem to love it so it’s ok in my book.
