Cobalt blue and blue wash hand-painted, old style German heritage beer stein. The text of the German national anthem appears in relief on two bands encircling this beer stein and reads: "Einigkeit und recht und freiheit fuer das Deutsche Vaterland. Danach lasst uns alle streben bruederlich mit Herz und Hand."
A 24K gold accented German eagle and national attractions/cities (Rothenburg o.d.T., Munchen, Berlin, Schloss Neuschwanstein, Koln, Frankfurt & Heidelberg) are shown in relief around the body and the words "Germany" and "Deutschland" are molded on the handle. Pewter lid and thumb lift.
The words to our national anthem have nothing to do with consumption of alcohol, but the melody that Francis Scott Key had in mind when he wrote those words did originate decades earlier as the melody for a song in praise of wine.

Many sets of lyrics have been written to the melody that Key chose for his verses that eventually became our national anthem. In fact, by 1820, eighty-four were written in the United States alone. Unlike most common melodies, we know who wrote the original words, music, and why!
I find the fuss about athletes kneeling during the national anthem to be completely inconsistent with what happens on the field and in the stands once the game begins. I understand why some players choose to kneel while the national anthem is being sung, even though the practice of singing while the players are on the field only began in 2009. I can also understand why some fans may view the act of not standing during the national anthem as unpatriotic. My point in this essay is not to take sides on this issue. There are enough people willing to address both sides of the issue of whether to stand or kneel.
My problem with this debate is what happens as soon as the game begins. Players on both teams do everything in their power not just to win the game, but also to hurt and inflict as much pain as possible on one another. In my hometown of Chicago, the legendary Dick Butkus said he had dreams of hitting the quarterback of the opposing team so hard that he would knock his head off and send it rolling down the field. That is certainly something worth the singing of the national anthem. When I was living in Cleveland, OH I worried about taking my son to a game of the Cleveland Browns, because of all the drunks in the stands who consumed so much beer during the game that they would end up cursing and even fighting with one another. This actually happened when I took him to a game between the Browns and the then Houston Oilers.
I remember going to a baseball game in New York City during my seminary student years when the New York Mets were playing my beloved Chicago Cubs. I was wearing my Cubs cap and cheering for my favorite team and players. Suddenly, someone from a few rows behind me threw a cup of beer on my head. I was told that I was given that "baptism of beer" because I was wearing the "cap of the enemy", and because I was not cheering for the home team. That happened after we had all sung the national anthem that was suppose to unite us as Americans under a common flag according to those who criticize today's NFL players.
If fans have the freedom to get drunk and be belligerent during the game, then why should the players not have the freedom to exercise their First Amendment right to peacefully protest? It was after the national anthem had been sung in Boston, when a Red Sox fan shouted racial insults at a player on the opposing team. It was after the national anthem had been sung that the Boston Red Sox coaches were caught using cell phone technology to steal pitch signs from the New York Yankees. It was after the national anthem had been sung when players in most sports played with the benefit of performance enhancing drugs.
The focus on a few players kneeling on the field seems to have obscured the cheating that is regularly done through cork-filled bats, under inflated footballs, excessive violence at hockey games, and "doping" done by swimmers, bikers, runners, and golfers. My point is that nothing happens once the games begin that is consistent with the "honor America" practice of singing the national anthem before those games begin. The two things are disconnected.
I was a multi-sport athlete in high school and college, and the national anthem was never played or sung at any of those games or matches. It never seemed strange to me, because I could never understand what a patriotic song had to do with a fiercely partisan sporting event.
The United States Supreme Court ruled that burning the American flag is a protected form of free speech under the First Amendment of the Constitution. That is a far-cry from athletes peacefully protesting a social issue by kneeling during the national anthem.
However the protests end over kneeling during the national anthem, the true soul of America is on display on the field and in the stands. I suspect the concussions and intentional violence on the field and the bad behavior in the stands will continue. Perhaps Donald Trump ought to tweet about that. Oh say can you see that?
Only one team has said they will stop selling concessions during the anthem. It does not appear that the suspending the selling of beer, hotdogs, banners, and the like was even considered by the group. I guess it is not disrespectful to leave your seat and miss the anthem in order to get a dog and a beer. After all, there is money to be made. And no disrespect is shown by the fans at home who go to the bathroom, grab another beer, or set up the snacks during the anthem. The respect that must be shown must come from the players.
I got things started by asking people on Instagram, the popular app, for help. And much to my delight, there were no shortage of people willing to help me realize my goal whether they had any connection to an NHL team or not.
I should mention at this point that my original plan was to play the anthems while skating around the rink and then, once the anthem was finished, grab a stick and gloves from some sort of stick and glove valet and fire a few pucks into the net, top left corner to be exact. But, most likely because the players would have been intimidated, it was agreed in advance that I would just play the anthems while wearing shoes like a totally regular person and then just go sit down afterward while most likely fending off offers of sex.
As you may have seen or heard on the Internet, I recently realized my months-long goal of playing the national anthem on guitar at an NHL hockey game, what critics are already calling the greatest national anthem playing of all-time basically. At least far as I\u2019m concerned.
The idea came to me shortly after my new book The Awesome Game: One Man\u2019s Incredible Globe-Crushing Hockey Odyssey, what critics (different critics from the ones mentioned earlier) are already calling the greatest hockey book ever written, was unleashed on an unsuspecting public this past October. Since I no longer had my publisher\u2019s money and influence to throw around in my efforts to get closer to the only sport I have any real interest in, I realized I needed to come up with a new plan to gain unfettered access to hockey. And, what with my love ripping guitar solos and all, I figured playing the national anthem on guitar before a game would be a great way to combine two things I love and hopefully get free nachos and stuff while I\u2019m at it.
I got a lot of messages like this and I was grateful for all of them. Then my friend and hilarious comedian Raj Suresh told me he had a friend who worked for the Cleveland Monsters, the AHL team that just so happened to be playing a home game against the Toronto Marlies over Thanksgiving weekend, right when I\u2019d be back in my hometown of sunny Cleveland visiting family.
The idea of starting off with a minor league game excited me as this way I could work my way up to the big leagues just like an actual hockey player might. This would be life imitating art. Or art imitating sports. Or something. I\u2019m still not sure. But I do know it\u2019s awesome.
My AHL anthem debut went reasonably well. They did take me out of the PA before I got to the \u201C\u2026home of brave\u201D part of the American anthem, but people were screaming for hockey and also America by then anyway so whatever. And even though I screwed up the Canadian anthem a little bit, that didn\u2019t stop my new friend Wil Burns, equipment manager for the Marlies, from hooking me up with all sorts of awesome Marlies swag, some of which I am wearing as I type this. I suppose this is as good a time as any to add that the Monsters gave me nothing, but that\u2019s okay because of that thing about how you can never come home. Anyway, the important thing is I spent the rest of the night enjoying the game, drinking beer, and high-fiving at least half the people in attendance as a result of my super sick anthem playing, which felt great.
As fate would have it, my friend Beth\u2019s boyfriend Steve played hockey with Shaun, one of the guys from Violent Gentlemen, the excellent hockey clothing brand that I was wearing on top of my Marlies swag just now until I got too hot. Shaun had some friends who worked for the Anaheim Ducks, some emails were exchanged and the next thing I knew I was scheduled to play both anthems once again, this time in Anaheim when the Ducks were to play the Toronto Maples Leafs the very same week I just so happened to be coming to Los Angeles for a few shows followed by several extremely high-powered show business meetings and celebrity hangs.
I headed straight to the Ducks home ice at the Honda Center in Anaheim as soon I got the behind the wheel of my rental car, which, as long as I\u2019m on the topic, smelled of Polo cologne, which is to say awful. The Ducks staff were extremely welcoming, even gifting me with my very own Ducks jersey, complete with my name and number (77, chosen because I think it looks cool mostly but also because it\u2019s Phil Esposito\u2019s number twice) on the back. Adding to the fun, they also gave me a handful of tickets for the game, so my friends Beth and Steve (mentioned earlier) and my buddy Dan all came down from LA to join in the hockey mayhem. You\u2019re probably wondering if we had awesome seats right down by the ice and were also allowed to go to a special private club were we could help ourselves to free stuff like sushi, coconut shrimp, and even an elaborate bread pudding and the answer is yes, yes we did. And it ruled a lot. 152ee80cbc
