Francis Scott Key was indeed a real person and he died at his daughter's home, not under a bridge. He wasn't only a poet, but also a lawyer and he didn't die penniless.Nichole Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02219173829962727622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10023572.post-10758864386407689262012-06-19T06:57:53.801-04:002012-06-19T06:57:53.801-04:00Back in the 1800's, songs were written for spe...Back in the 1800's, songs were written for specific people to sing. The reason "The Star-Spangled Banner" is so difficult to sing is because it was written specifically for the little-known vocalist Francis Scott. When people asked why such a difficult song was ever written, they were told that it was written in "Francis Scott's Key". Over the years the "s" was dropped so that we ended up with the erroneous name we have today.<br /><br />Francis Scott was so unpopular as a singer that he died penniless under a bridge in Maryland.Gilahihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05331323175802868796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10023572.post-75575337061352856892012-06-18T14:50:46.434-04:002012-06-18T14:50:46.434-04:00Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Wow, even a quick wikipedia search would have told him that, uh, no the national anthem was not written under a bridge and is not a memorial to the Baltimore Orioles. I wonder if the bridge thing is just a MD urban legend? No offense to Maryland-ites or anything. I seriously loved when he asked you to fact check. Really? Thanks for the laugh :)Nichole Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02219173829962727622noreply@blogger.com
