think of the civil rights movement and woody guthrie and pete seeger, people don't express themselvesare a bunch of reasons for that, but that may be another lecture in itself. other questions? sir? >> one more question. i was just wondering, you mentioned that people were getting this out very quickly when a person wrote it. was the very singing of it an act of telling the news, or are they really two separate things? everybody knew the story of the battle and this was just a way of celebrating it. or was it really telling the news to people? to sing this song. >> that's a good question. remember, though, that scott key's interpretation of the successful defense of baltimore is much more of a lost union, sort of philosophical, he's at a bit of a distance. he understands the importance. unlike the yankee doodle battle of baltimore, he's not naming the generals or making fun of this or that or alluding to washington being burned 2 1/2 weeks before. so, my answer to your question is sort of yes and no. i think the story, what's interesting -- can we back up again on the images to the --
