Yes, luigii I saw it. I had never heard of that before. It's not something that I have ever thought about before with the album, but I guess a lot of art (not just from the US) was affected by the scale of the disaster. Next time I listen to that album, it's one of my favorites, I will have that knowledge in mind.

Simple Man is about how we need to lynch drug dealers!*



*Btw not trying to make this thread political. I don't think that's a partisan political issue, at least I hope not.

As Rocka explained in #3,


Oh shit, should have made it more clear that this is a list from a wikipedia article my dude. I just highlighted those ones because they made an interesting narrative. I definitely don't want to take credit for something that isn't my own words. (I should know better as an English teacher) Embarassed

I saw the same the Wikipedia page. Whether you looked at it or not before writing this post, it still sounded authentic because I'm pretty sure we both remember 9/11 vividly. Besides, since when is it a crime to reference Wikipedia?

Also @ baystate

Are you talking about that Alan Jackson one that Streetspirit mentioned? I honestly have no recollection of it because nobody in my family was listening to modern country then.

I didn't know which song baystate was referencing, but I knew it wasn't Alan Jackson. I don't remember the Jackson song well, but it was calm, peaceful sounding...nothing like this one:

Peaked at #33 on the country charts.


Wow, those are some intense lyrics. I find it ironic how angry, violent songs in rock and metal were censored post-9/11 while this reached #33 on the country charts. So it was ok for music to have violent lyrics as long as it was about avenging 9/11? However (and I pulled this from that Wikipedia page, Rocka) War by Edwin Starr was on the 'Do Not Play' list. Yes, the anti-war song.

I find it interesting how country music changed in the aftermath of 9/11.

To add to Chief’s list, I remember in the days of Audiogalaxy downloading a 2001 album called Out Of The Loop by a bedroom electro indie-pop act called I Am The World Trade Center. I seem to recall they had to temporarily rename themselves ‘I Am The World’ following 9/11, but whilst that’s noteworthy enough it’s nothing compared to the eerie fact that the 11th track on this LP is called ‘September’. And yes, it was released before 9/11. It’s always struck me as a very unhappy coincidence (that being said, bar one song the album’s shite).
