On September 7 Poppycock showcased a message, singing a medley of “The Star Bangled Banner,” “Yankey Doodle Boy” and “Stars and Stripes Forever” while images of American civil liberty heroes Susan B. Anthony, Rosa Parks and Harvey Milk screened behind him. America loved it, and voted yet again to keep him in the competition and into the finals.
