NPR Revisits a Classic Keith Track
NPR has recently taken stock of the most impactful slew of song-and-dance antics of the 2000s when it comes to all things music, and just in time for the holiday season that will soon take us into a new decade. The ‘00s have been significant in the changing of the times for popular music, and with it has come a newfound sense of patriotism showing up in mainstream (and especially country) music. The Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks are largely to thank for this trend, and it’s none other than Toby Keith who helped propel the movement.
As NPR pointed out, Toby Keith’s patriotic song “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)” is one of the most memorable songs of the 2000s, making an impact on the decade and helping to lead the charge for the U-S-of-A. Other post-9/11 anthems highlighted in the package of significant tunes during this time included Alan Jackson’s “Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning” and John Ashcroft’s “Let the Eagle Soar,” and these songs are sure to be remembered for years to come, as well.
What else has had an impact on the 2000s? NPR’s other decade-moving songs are available on its website, but it may not get any better than Toby Keith and his patriotism.
