Nashville Remembers 9/11

Country Musicians “Remember the Day the Towers Fell”

On the fourth anniversary of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center falling to the earth after terrorists strategically flew airplanes into them, country radio stations around the United States are remembering the event by playing their entire arsenal of contemporary country classics. “Basically anything that references ‘Americans’, ‘towers falling’, ‘Osama Bin Laden’, ‘flags flying high’, ‘billowing smoke’, or ‘firefighters pulling children for the rubble’ will be put on our playlist for the day,” said Artie B. Blank, also known as DJ Billy Blank: “the madman of the airwaves.” “Hearing those touching, patriotic lyrics backed by full Nashville production, complete with pedal steel [guitar] and the rising final chorus…it's really something to hear.” When asked if country songs referencing 9/11 were in poor taste Blank replied, “this is the heart and soul of America, this music. It is our chance to give something back. We love it and we love America. If that's a problem for some people, they can hop on a boat with their [picket] signs and go back to France where they came from.”
