#March4Marriage preview: Alex Holt and Free Worship prep 'land of the free' lyrics for freedom-stifling event; seemingly miss irony

This is the band that will perform at the National Organization For Marriage's pro-discrimination march on Thursday. Here they are rehearsing The Star Spangled Banner, which they will sing on site:
