'Culture Crash' Episode 2: The Various Influences On American Patriotic Music

With the recent election, inauguration and now Presidents Day, our second episode of “Culture Crash” looks at patriotic songs.
Flying Carpet Theatre artistic director Adam Koplan joined “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes and talked about the origins of American patriotic music.
“You know, as we look at the songs we’re listening to, I think, in some way, they all reflect this melting pot that is America and the culture crash that we’re talking about,” Koplan said.
Three of America’s most revered patriotic songs — “God Bless America,” “This Land Is Your Land” and “Living in America” — represent the melting pot of this country.
