National Anthem PSA

A new VirusHead tradition begins here. Now. Every Saturday I will post another of Laurie Anderson’s public service announcements. She actually calls them personal service announcements.

I have no idea how I could have missed “Yoda.” It’s obviously been around for a long time. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMpDHEVaI1k[/youtube] I don’t know whether to sing along or gag. Interesting.
