You might know Jesse McCartney from those heady boy band days earlier this decade. Or perhaps you're a huge fan of ABC Family's Greek where he has a recurring role. Or, if you're like me, you had never heard of him until he forgot the words to "The Star-Spangled Banner" at Sunday's Pepsi 500.
McCartney skipped the second line of the first verse, but to his credit, he belted out verses 2-4 before regaling the crowd with a patriotic tribute smash-up of the 12 songs better than Lee Greenwood's "Good Bless America."*
McCartney took it well, later tweeting: "Here At the Nascar race !So much fun! Can't believe I forgot the words to the Anthem! I've performed it 100 times. Bad Nerves today I guess".
And all things considered things could have been worse. Much, much worse.
* Everything after "skipped the second line" might be fabricated.
