(2002-09-06) -- The 8,000-word essay on American patriotism which Norman Mailer wrote for the London Sunday Times [9/8/02] is meant to serve as pre-publicity for Mailer's new CD of patriotic songs.
Mailer lends his sultry baritone to such classics as Godless America, This Is Sty Country, Bland Old Rag, I'm A Cranky Noodling Dandy, America the Booty-Full, and The Star Spangled Banter.
The CD, titled "Totally Promiscuous Patriotism," is slated for a September 11 release.
"I'm hoping that people will be intensely critical of the essay, and of the CD," said Mailer, "because it's your duty to be critical of it so it can become even greater, just like America."

re: Star Spangled Banter
I think Mailer actually recorded a parody entitled The Star Spangled Boner.
