Blood on the streets;
Yeah blood flowin’ down;
I hear the blood of my blood;
Cryin’ from the ground.
Thoughts go out to our brothers and sisters in Boston.

September 11: Into the Fire
“The sky was falling and streaked with blood . . .
“May your strength give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love give us love.”
— “Into the Fire,” Bruce Springsteen

Osama Bin Laden is Dead: The Long Road
Instead of celebrating the death of one person, today is a good day to remember those murdered on September 11, 2001 and those lives lost since then because of that day’s events. It makes me think of Eddie Vedder, accompanied by Neil Young and Mike McReady, performing “The Long Road,” at the benefit concert that aired on September 21, 2001. Although the song was written years earlier by Vedder and Nusrat fateh ali Khan, it fit the occasion perfectly, much like Bruce Springsteen’s “My City of Ruins,” which also was written under different circumstances but performed at the concert.
And the wind keeps rollin’,
And the sky keeps turning gray,
And the sun is setting,
The sun will rise another day.
