9/11 rant starts here...

Just kidding.

The best part about working today was asking the children if they recognized what day it was.

"Gym day?"

I also used the anniversary -- Yuck! Did I just say that? -- as an excuse to listen to Spingsteen's kickass 9/11 album, The Rising.

It seems some genius (hack?) at the CBC website was listening to it too, and he completely missed the best part!

The best line is when Springsteen says in the first song, "You better ask questions before you shoot," thereby dissapointing every American who was looking for some quick blood and revenge from the Boss.

The only Springtsteen album I can stand, and possibly the only piece of 9/11 "art" that didn't make us all cringe. Way to go, Mr. Steen!


(Sad Admission: I actually listen to The Rising every single day here, along with Let it Bleed and the first Nas album. It could be inspired by the history of New Zealand and I'd still love it.)
