A man who called himself Boraq Sagdiyev from Kazakhstan (search) persuaded producers to let him sing the national anthem before the beginning of a rodeo in Salem, Va., Friday night. He said he was touring America making a documentary, and would have a film crew with him.
Instead, the crowd of nearly 4,000 at the Salem Civic Center was treated to a mangled version of "The Star-Spangled Banner," as well as a bizarre political rant, reports the Roanoke (Va.) Times.
"I hope you kill every man, woman and child in Iraq, down to the lizards," the man told the audience. His butchered rendition of the national anthem ended with the words "your home in the grave."
Boos and hisses filled the air, and the singer and his film crew had to be escorted out of the arena for their own safety.
"Had we not gotten them out of there, there would have been a riot," rodeo producer Bobby Rowe told the newspaper.
