well, talking about the "event" and Neil Young, i would guess this post is about his song "Let's Roll" about 9/11/01. Here are the lyrics.
I know I said I love you,
I know you know it's true,
I got to put the phone down,
And do what we gotta do.
One's standing in the aisle way,
Two more at the door,
We got to get inside there,
Before they kill some more.
Time is runnin' out, let's roll.
Time is runnin' out, let's roll.
No time for indecision,
We got to make a move,
I hope that we're forgiven,
For what we gotta do.
How this all got started,
I'll never understand,
I hope someone can fly this thing,
Get us back to land.
Time is runnin' out, let's roll.
Time is runnin' out, let's roll.
No one has the answers,
But one thing is true,
You got to turn on evil,
When it's comin' after you.
You got to face it down,
And when it tries to hide,
You got to go in after it,
And never be denied.
Time is runnin' out, let's roll.
Let's roll for freedom,
Let's roll for love,
Goin' 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 fearful in their youth.
Time is runnin' out, let's roll.
Time is runnin' out, let's roll.
Time is runnin' out, let's roll.
i dont know if anyone can answer if it really correctly dipects the events since none of us were on that plane when the "let's roll" phone call was made.
i think that song lyrics are like fiction books. they may be based on a real event, but certain aspects are added to complete the thought or mood.
hard song to analize since, like i said, none of us were there.
but then again, the "event" could be about Kent State and the song "Ohio".... or even "Pocahontas" or maybe "Alabama"....
Neil Young lyrics can be better than a history book.
I *Heart* Neil Young.
