slow news day - Luke Bryan apologizes for All-Star Game National Anthem for no reason

Luke Bryan sorry for All-Star national anthem at Kauffman Stadium

Singer admits lyrics written on hand

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Luke Bryan is saying sorry for his performance during Major League Baseball's All-Star game.

The country singer admits that he did check the lyrics he had written on his hand while he sang the national anthem on Tuesday night. He also checked his watch.

In a series of tweets Wednesday, Bryan says he's sincerely sorry if he offended anyone. He says he just wanted to make sure that he didn't mess up and that his singing came from the heart.

He also said he checked his watch because he knew a stealth bomber was going to fly overhead as part of the festivities, and he started a little late.

WTF, what is he apologizing for?!?! That he didn't want to forget the lyrics or that he wanted to time the fly-over correctly??? Well, the next article on the main page of our local news was, "Owner believes dog bitten by snake at park." so I guess it must be a really, really slow news day.
