1. What is the military-industrial-complex? What corporations belong to it? What songs have critiqued it (perhaps implicitly)? 2. Watch the performance of “The Star Spangled Banner” by Jimi Hendrix in 1969 at the Woodstock Festival. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKAwPA14Ni4 Listen and sing the words in your head. How does Hendrix interpret the song as an instrumental? When does he create emphasis on certain ‘words’ or ‘phrases’? Do you think his performance was patriotic? Why or why not? Consider not only the sound of the music, but also the social context, including the audience. 3. What is jingoism? Which songs exemplify it? (particularly from post-9/11 era, but other time periods too).
