2. It's a wonderful song but it wasn't written or inspired by what happened |

Buckley, Wainwright, Cale, Lang...I can appreciate all of them, but Buckley's version most.

15. It would be in poor taste to make a campaign ad out of it |
|
Edited on Sun Sep-11-11 10:31 AM by rustydog
but it would be a powerful point. Republicans will call them heroes for unselfishly running into Hell to save lives, then 10 years later, demonize them and blame them for our financial crisis.
Did Boner cry that day? Did Gingrich use September 11th as an excuse to cheat on another wife?

19. But it was written about 9/11... |
|
I don't understand what you are getting at.
An old standard would be a better tribute than a song written right after the towers came down, right when everyone was filled with blood lust written about the sacrifice of the first responders.

6. I really liked Alan Jackson's song Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning. |
|
Very non political. Very heart felt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvj6zdWLUukI just cried my eyes out when I heard it.

9. I felt the same way when I first heard "Hit Me, Baby, One More Time" |
|
When heard it I knew music was dead.

10. "Exodus Damage" -- John Vanderslice |
|
I’ll see you next fall At another gun show I’ll call the day before, like usual
But i wanted so much more I got exodus damage bleed, Could not commit, some things i’ll never be
So now we’re talking about this I’m starting to lose my confidence No one ever says a word about So much that happens in the world
Dance dance revolution All we’re gonna get Unless it falls apart So i say: go go go Let it fall down I’m ready for the end
So the second plane hit at 9:02 I saw it live on a hotel tv, talking on my cell with you You said this would happen, and just like that, it did Wrong about the feeling, wrong about the sound But right to say we would stand down
An hour went by without a fighter in the sky You said there’s a reason why So tell me now, i must confess I’m not sick enough to guess
Dance dance revolution All we’re gonna get Unless it falls apart So i say: go go go Let it fall down I’m ready for the end
So you hope that one person Could solve everything And for me, that’s you Sometimes that dream Is a sad delusion But sometimes it’s true
So now we’re talking about this I’m starting to lose my confidence No one ever says a word about So much that happens in the world
Dance dance revolution All we’re gonna get Unless it falls apart So i say: go go go Let it fall down I’m ready for the end

12. I had a similar reaction to Joe Scarborough's 9/11 song. |
|
Except it made me want to swerve off the road into a tree.

13. I remember hearing Garrison Keillor |
|
sing this on 'Prairie Home Companion' soon after 9/11; by the end of the song, I was sobbing. True heroism. How dare that coward Bush even show his face at the hallowed ground where they so selflessly died? He has no shame.
