BTW, Neil Young wrote a song about Flight 93 right after 9/11
The song was called "Let's Roll," in reference to what Todd Beamer said:

"Let's Roll"

I know I said I love you,
I know you know it's true,
I've got to put the phone down,
and do what we got to do.

One's standing in the iselway,
Two more at the door,
We've got to get inside there,
Before they kill somemore.

Time is runnin' out,
Let's roll.
Time is runnin' out,
Let's roll.

No time for indecision,
We've got to make a move,
I hope that were foregiven,
For what we got to

How this all got started,
I'll never understand,
I hope someone can fly this thing,
And get us back to land.

Time is runnin' out,
Let's roll.
Time is runnin' out,
Let's roll.

No one has the answer,
But one thing is true,
You've got to turn on evil,
When it's coming after you,
You've gota face it down,
And when it tries to hide,
You've gota go in after it,
And never be denied,
Time is runnin' out,
Let's roll.

Let's roll for freedome,
Let's roll for love,
We're going after satan,
On the wings of a dove,
Let's roll for justice,
Let's roll for truth,
Let's not let our children,
Grow up fearfull in there youth.

Time is runnin' out,
Let's roll.
Time is runnin' out,
Let's roll.
Time is runnin' out,
Let's roll.

1. Yep. I remember that tune.
And now certain right wing idiots,er, pundits are saying that Neil "turned" on them because this tune was allegedly right wing. To me, it's a tribute to some heroes and above politics. And unlike the idi...er...pundits, I have an extensive Neil Young collection. I love Neil Young's music.

2. He's a great artist
And when I heard that song after 9/11 I was very moved by it.
