Red state ‘’Murica won’t be watching no ballerina! That’s gay!

We’d expect to see Kid Rock or Lee Greenwood. Or maybe jello mud wrestling.

I'd link to a video, but it really wants to be played VERY slowly.

Instead, something more lively "Hallelujah I'm Ready to Go!"

Apologies for the Facebook video. Others were not so clear.

Un-mute the little speaker icon at the bottom right.

Bye Bye!
