Requirements of Assignments:

1. Discussion (at least 1000 words):

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).

2. Assignment:

Briefly respond to each of these prompts. Total word count should be approx. 1000. Include works cited page. You must cite all required readings and films, or it will be a ZERO, with a chance to resubmit for a capped grade.

1. Discuss popular protest music from World War I to the 1950s. How did music both express pro- and anti-war stances? Give at least 2 examples of each. Also, include discussion of how musicians expressed anxieties with the atomic bomb.
2. Discuss how American rock/pop music reflected both pro- and anti-war sentiments during the Vietnam War era. Be sure to discuss at least 4 songs and artists. Does musical genre (rock, folk, soul, country, etc.) relate to the political stances on war? If so, how and why might this be?
3. Discuss war-themed songs of the post-Vietnam era (1975-2000). How do these compare to those of the Vietnam era in terms of sound, style, theme, political issues, lyrical content? Include at least 3 song examples with lyrical analysis.
4. Discuss the shifts in mood over time after the attacks of 9/11 and how music reflected these changes. Particularly, note the difference in tone for the 2 televised tribute concerts. Did certain genres tend to be more aligned with certain political stances? If so, how and why might this be? And, how might certain artists break with this pattern? Include a mention of jingoism, and songs/artists that exemplify this. Include discussion of Bruce Springsteen, censorship, and clear channel.
5. Compare and contrast American popular protest music during the World Wars, Vietnam, post-Vietnam, and the post-9/11 eras. Did similar issues arise? Did artists face similar or different situations/challenges as related to government, media, and audiences?

For this work, you must give me two separate files. One for Discussion, and one for Assignment.
