The Americans love their flag and their national anthem, and who can blame them when they have singers like Whitney Houston to perform it? (Well, had. Houston sadly passed away in 2012) Listen to this!
Others use the anthem to criticize the government, such as Jimi Hendrix at the Woodstock festival in 1969. Listen how he makes his guitar sound like bombs falling, as a critique against the war the American troops fought in Vietnam. This is probably one of the most famous performances of the song.
