Hey Live friends,

I wrote this and Steve is a really cool guy. I think you'll enjoy his unique perspective on the song and the making of the video. There's some stuff I left out that I may post somewhere else in the next few days. I'll add it here if I do. Cheers!

Steven Rosenbaum and Live: Overcome

Yikes! Might want to get someone to fix that typo:

"Those planes changed when the first plane made impact."

It takes a bit of time for the website to update. It's fixed now, we took over the site recently and the back-end sucks majorly.

So nothing about the actual article? sad.gif

That was a really interesting piece. Very well written. I like this quote by Rosenbaum:

"I have trouble imagining what else that song was put on the earth to do, except to be put on the radio so I could hear it."

Glad I could guilt some comments out of you guys. lol.gif Long week at work. I'm going to post some comments he made about Ed in a bit, they will probably make for better discussion.

I thought it was interesting that he really knew nothing of the band at all. I always assumed whoever directed it was a fan of the group and found the song via the album. That wasn't the way it worked though.

Found an old link that mentions Overcome and 9/11
http://digitalcontentproducer.com/mag/vide...ercome_emotion/ (November 2011)

Here are a couple of articles that were published on The Huffington Post where Rosenbaum recalls what happened on the day and how the Overcome video was created:
Steve Rosenbaum - I Got My 9/11 Story: What's Yours?
Steve Rosenbaum - The Unheard Sounds of 9/11

There's an iPod app that features the Overcome video as well as a number of Steve Rosenbaum's photos. The 9/11 Memorial: Past, Present and Future (free until September 11. Then it costs $9.95)

Thanks! I do a bit of fun blogging but mainly interviews and managing content. Not a lot of writing like this.

We've actually got an interview coming up with Ed, I didn't do it for... personal reasons. smile.gif
