Discussion Friday thread brought to you by the Clear Channel 9/11 memorandum
The songs that radio stations were not told to play after 9/11
Quite a list especially All Rage Against The Machine songs were told not to be played

One of the things that stands out to me the most about that day is how brave of a face my first-grade teacher managed to put on, and how hard she worked to help a bunch of six-year-olds understand everything that had happened over the following days. She's probably the best and most impactful individual teacher I've had in all of my years of education for many more reasons beyond that, but on a day like today, that was probably one of the most meaningful to look back on.

Today when I get off of work I will not be watching any TV or really checking reddit. I was 10 years old when it happened and it still gets to me. Like I remember the news coverage and everything

I was looking for Fire And Rain by James Taylor, and yep, there it is.
“Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground” hit a little too close (although the Simpsons Homer-astronaut episode did it first)
