As much as I don't like our National Anthem (it's really a horrible song and sounds more like a dirge than a song of pride), I won't stand or put my hand over my heart for a song written in 1984, that no one gave a crap about until a particular person decided to run for president in the 2000s. Now, if they replace the current National Anthem with God Bless the USA, then sure I'll stand for it, just as I stand for the American flag.
We will stand for God Bless the USA but do think that performers play it in order to get a standing ovation at the end of their set
