Have there been that many songs inspired by 9/11?? Can you think of even one? I can, and it’s Bruce Springsteen’s “Nothing Man”. I can’t put my finger on why exactly (maybe it’s that line about a “cloud of pink vapor”) but I can feel that day in my veins and in my heart every time I listen to this song. I happened to turn it on last weekend while driving on the Massachusetts Turnpike and it brought tears to my eyes. If Stone’s 9/11 movie can arouse even a portion of the emotion that this song has, it’ll be a good thing all around.
