Reasonable Advice

I’ve been hired to sing the National Anthem this Sunday at the Super Bowl. I’m nervous. I’ve never sung in front of a group of people before.

The National Football Association found me through a youtube video of me singing My Sharona. I’m a huge fan of the Knack.

The lead singer of the Knack, Doug Fieger, who is now dead, is a major inspiration for me. He once said, “I used to sit at home, alone in my room, afraid to leave because of the dangers that might befall me. But one day I thought, “What if the ceiling caves in, what if the house catches fire, what if someone breaks in and kills me?” I left the house that day and never came back!”
