Stating, “He needs to drop the 4-2-3-1, get rid of the double cello in the midfield and switch to an aggressive 4-3-3 with our best violinist up top,” the blog MLSTactics.com panned the recent composition, moves, and formation of the MLS Anthem by German composer Hans Zimmer.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT SUM AND THE USSF?

“We need an American composer to handle this situation, not a German one who appoints his grandson to the timpani section of the development orchestra,” stated writer James Stewart. “We have a history of American composers from George Gershwin to Aaron Copland to John Williams and we let this German try to figure out an American identity? I think not.”

The post by Stewart on MLS Tactics details how the orchestra could deal with a lost generation of American Bassoon players and how the appointment of Zimmer to the MLS Anthem is just another example of the catering to foreign composers.

“You are telling me that Randy Newman couldn’t do this job? Randy Newman would come in here and understand the American psyche. He would write an MLS Anthem that would really show the jaunty drive into suburbia and the Panda Express next to the Starbucks at your local grocery story complex center. Zimmer probably doesn’t even understand what our star Violinists want when they talk about Chipotle and Netflix.”

Stewart also castigated Zimmer for bringing in dual citizenship french horns who, “don’t understand what it is like to be American and wake up every day in the greatest country in the world and probably won’t play as hard as American Horns would if MLS Cup was really on the line."

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as the MLS Anthem with Randy Newman in charge fails to make it to the final selection.
