Amod says that his rock version of the traditional song will help create a sense that patriotic things need not always be serious, that they can be fun too. “When was the last time kids rocked out on the National Anthem?

“A lot of us have been deeply engaged in public debates about critical issues that impact people across the world. But I think fatigue may have started to set in now, and if that’s the case, there’s a real danger of people turning away from the issues. The purpose of national holidays and national songs is to remind ourselves that we are capable of great things. Fifty years ago, a parade or a marching band was sufficient, but sometimes you have to rock.”
