Guilty Canadian Admission:
In my teens I lived in Brockville Ontario near Ogdensburg New York and watched a lot of US channels. The Star Spangled Banner came on at the beginning of the broadcast day for some channels.
For many years, I thought the first line was "Jose can you see"
Not just the threats, but the deafening silence from Americans in general about it (outside Lemmy) is something we will not forget for a generation.
