There is a real patriotism underneath the best of my music but it is a critical, questioning and often angry patriotism.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Patriotism is best exemplified through auto-critique.
It sounds really arrogant, but my music's my favourite music ever. I prefer it to anyone else's.
I happen to love the patriotic songs of America.
I want America to be more like America, if you will. I want the songs, that patriotism we have.
I believe patriotism comes from the heart. Patriotism is voluntary. It is a feeling of loyalty and allegiance that is the result of knowledge and belief.
I don't think a lot of people are able to relate to genuine patriotism, a genuinely good feeling about our country and its meaning to the rest of the world.
Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first; nationalism, when hate for people other than your own comes first.
Patriotism to your country is something that comes from your heart. It should be taught to you by your parents.
Protest is patriotic. Since the beginning of musical time, American singers and songwriters have used their talent and bully pulpits to show us America's strengths and shortcomings.
Patriotism is not a short and frenzied outburst of emotion but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime.
