If you listen really closely to that song in the very background you can hear John Lennon spinning around in his grave.

Which was not written in reponse to 9/11.

I didn't know The Whole World was either, but regardless, I found it to be a good joke quite like the whole invasion, although more funny.

According to many, Al-Queda no longer exists as an opperational group, but rather as an idea.

Until my friends and classmates (of which I have several in Iraq) stop dying, I won't consider Al Qaeda or the rhetoric of Bin Laden an 'idea.'

Don't confuse the war in Iraq with the war on terrorism.

Ah, 'tis true. But that doesn't lessen the impacts of the deaths of our soldiers.

I agree, we should honor the dead regardless of the cause. It is their willingness to die that should be honored, not the reason why.

Still, that's all I'm saying on that. I don't want this to turn into P&N fodder.

Yeah, this small exchange was remarkably civil for a 9/11 thread. But I suspect that we'd have similar opinions on the whole matter.

hehe ok, fine

how about ... Fiddle and the drum, APC again

A Perfect Circle - Fiddle And The Drum Lyrics
And so once again
My dear Johnny my dear friend
And so once again you are fightin' us all
And when I ask you why
You raise your sticks and cry, and I fall
Oh, my friend
How did you come
To trade the fiddle for the drum
You say I have turned
Like the enemies you've earned
But I can remember
All the good things you are
And so I ask you please
Can I help you find the peace and the star
Oh, my friend
What time is this
To trade the handshake for the fist

And so once again
Oh, America my friend
And so once again
You are fighting us all
And when we ask you why
You raise your sticks and cry and we fall
Oh, my friend
How did you come
To trade the fiddle for the drum

You say we have turned
Like the enemies you've earned
But we can remember
All the good things you are
And so we ask you please
Can we help you find the peace and the star
Oh my friend
We have all come
To fear the beating of your drum

well, the weirdest musical thing regarding 9-11 was the release of Dream Theater's "Live Scenes From New York" that day. I went to bed on 9-10 looking forward to that cd, with the imagery of the cover in mind. The cover, which was pulled from stores immediately following 9-11, was a picture of the NYC skyline in flames and wrapped in barbedwire.

Funny how a band called "Dream Theater" released a cd so amazingly in parallel with the times, given their claim to fame is "timing".

I have a copy of that 3 cd set, still shrinkwrapped.

so do i. so do i. its priceless imho. its sitting in a $1000 safe bolted to the ground.

I believe that whole CD is cover songs. That isn't to say they did a bad job, I think they did a good job.

If there's ever a WRONG way to respond to 9/11, that's it.

I disagree... Circle Gets the Square!
That was the only acceptable responce to what happened.

We should be pissed off and kick the sh1t out of everyone.
Your entire world is belong to us.

Into the Fire by Bruce Springsteen (The Rising Album)

Probably biased being a career firefighter and having watched the towers collapse on TV during my training academy. Several people in class with me that day had relatives working in FDNY, WTC and Pentagon that day some of whom didn't come home.

the outkast song was a 9/11 song?
