music:

Bob Dylan

story:

Dylan's 2001 disc LOVE AND THEFT was released that day on 9/11/01. Being a huge Dylan fan, I took the day off to get it. Got up that day turned on the news. I never made it.......Listening a day later - a day after - the lyrics were eerily prophetic and poignant:

Sky full of fire / pain pouring down /
...
all my powers of expression / my thoughts so sublime / could never do you justice / in reason or rhyme
