Glad You Asked: Weekend To-Dos
Posted By Colin Wolf on October 25, 2013, 11:32 AM
Dear GYA, James Taylor's performance at last night's World Series, taught us three things: The "National Anthem" is boring, it's a snoozer and it doesn't connect with today's youth. Yeah, I said it. Perhaps it's time to switch it up with a new T-Swift verse, a dubstep remix or, at the very least, throw a little "boom boom pow," in there. Anything happening this weekend more interesting than the boring old National Anthem? Will.I.Am.---
Will, Shut up. If we're doing anything to the "National Anthem" we're mashing it up with this song. Here's what up for this weekend, starting with Friday's events:
