Olympics inspire hunt for coolest of anthems
Written by Joe Blundo, The Columbus Dispatch   
Olympic National Anthems"Anthems reflect state power, and the powerful like their music somber, dignified and stern. St. Kitts and Nevis, the Caribbean island nation, is an exception. Listen to its almost-jaunty melody, and you just know they aren't planning to invade anyone soon." Columbus Dispatch

Sousa the Storyteller
Written by Terry Teachout, The Wall Street Journal   
John Philip SousaEverybody knows that John Philip Sousa wrote "Stars and Stripes Forever." OK, not everybody -- nowadays there are plenty of cultural illiterates who don't even know that Beethoven wrote the Fifth -- but most Americans still connect Sousa's name with the best-known and best-loved of all marches, and a fair number of us can sing the nonsense lyrics that some anonymous wag set to the tune of the trio section: "Be kind to your web-footed friends/For a duck may be somebody's mother." For that matter, just about everybody who played in a high-school marching band knows that Sousa was nicknamed the March King and that he also wrote "Semper Fidelis," "The Washington Post" and a whole lot of other marches (133, to be exact) whose strutting, vibrant vigor remains unrivaled to this day.
