Would have been TOO interesting I bet

Posted a bit more from the interview on my pop music blog! Don't worry, I spend my time making FUN of the pop music.

More On 9/11 and Live's "Overcome" Video

Yeah, maybe someday... for a very different website!

I was in lower Manhattan shortly after the attacks. My recollection was that it was a day or two later, but I was listening to V at the time, so either I am off by a bit or I had downloaded it before it was released. I took the ferry over from Staten Island and when I got near the WTC site, Overcome just happened to come on. It was actually kind of spooky.

It was only after that when I learned about the connection with that song, the video, the drama behind the scenes, etc.

But I have to say, even not having been there DURING the attacks, "overcome" definitely described the feeling of witnessing the aftermath, which I still remember like it was yesterday. I can't even imagine what the survivors see in their heads.

Wow that got a little deeper than I thought it was going to. Sorry about that.

When I was there last year (actually it was a year ago today I was in down town Manhatten, that is just scary and also sad that because I want to be back again .. thats another story!) but im a bit annoyed that when I was there I never thought to stick the headphones in and put Overcome on. I didn't seem to feel the same kind of aura or atmosphere around the place that a lot of people say they have. I was more amazed at how little they had worked on the rebuilding after nearly 10yrs.
But yeah really wished I'd thought to put Overcome on, its hard to imagine how Overcome would be viewed if it didn't have that huge connection to 9/11 really.

His timeline doesn't exactly match up with Chad's either, I think it is all such a blur that it's hard to figure out exactly how things went.

The only thing we know for sure is that the song wasn't written for 9/11.

The article has been placed on Live's Facebook page this morning.

CT is the man.

Could have been a week or two later, I suppose. I really can't remember at this point. I just remember the debris was still all over the place (as it was for months), and the stench was still in the air.

And I remember Overcome just popping on and remembering how eerie that was.

Edited to add that I was listening on a portable CD player, as I didn't have my first MP# player until 2004. Wow, things change in 10 years!
