 Patriotic Music In America, Page 1
While all patriotic and national music is to a greater or less extent popular music, it may be classed apart in that its growth mainly is due to the circumstance of war and is the specific outcome of such conditions.
The repertory of popular music in America is especially rich in patriotic and national songs, in fact so much so that it is hard to fix on any one or even a few of them.
The first incentive to patriotic music was the Revolution, later followed by the War of 1812 and still later by the Civil War, The Spanish American War and the World Wars and regional conflicts of the twentieth century.

On September 18th 1989, Janet Jackson released her second major album, "Rhythm Nation 1814." It was perhaps the most eagerly anticipated female record of the year, and it didn't disappoint.
Rhythm Nation 1814 opens with the first of eight Interludes, "Pledge." This 47 second interlude begins with the tolling of a bell and the opening of a creaky door before Janet delivers her message, "We are a nation with no geographic boundaries, bound together through our beliefs.
Even the title of the album has a deeper meaning - 1814 was the year that Francis Scott wrote "Star Spangled Banner," while the first letter of Rhythm (R) is also the 18th letter of the alphabet, and the first letter of Nation (N) is the 14th.

Control showed her to be a massive singles act, but Rhythm Nation: 1814 proved that Janet Jackson was not only capable of propelling a song, but fully conceiving a concept album as well.
Rhythm Nation: 1814 was her most coherent artistic statement and, sadly, also her last truly great album: Edgy and diverse, dark but never completely forboding, Rhythm Nation combined tough beats, irresistible melodies and anthemic lyrics to build an RandB landmark.
Rhythm Nation: 1814, on the other hand, was a prophetic and important work, and ten years after its release holds up to scrutiny on all fronts -- vocal performance, arrangement, recording, groove.
