Hello everyone! Last week in class we talked about a paper we had to write about different songs and I picked and compared the songs "Maggies Farm" by Bob Dylan and Rage Against the Machine. We also went over the chapter " The Two Gulf Wars, 9/11/2001 and Afghanistan" and while talking over the chapter one of the songs from the chapter called "God Bless the USA" by Lee Greenwood. The entire song was about how patriotic he was and how everyone was Proud to be an American. He says "I love being an American" so it's a very patriotic song that proves that during the time of the gulf war there was a strong sense of Unity within the country at the time. So songs like these and many others were being released when big events happen like the gulf war and the September 11 terrorist attacks.
