Clemens Bilan/AP
Does the United States need a new national anthem? If so, who should write it? When it comes to the second question, Americans clearly have impeccable taste.
According to a new poll conducted for CBS's 60 Minutes and Vanity Fair magazine, 22 percent of those surveyed favored Bruce Springsteen to compose a new anthem to replace the Star-Spangled Banner.
The Boss beat out Dolly Parton at 19 percent and Stevie Wonder at 18 percent. Bob Dylan was the choice of 11 percent and composer John Williams was favored by 10 percent of respondents.
