For us, getting on with what we do, finishing the tour we started, was the only response that made sense. I guess I won't get into my hatred and mistrust of TV here. If I'd had to rely solely on TV for news and context, I'd be even more of a raving lunatic than I am. Terror in America. America's New War.
Newspapers are where it's at.
Reading lots of different ones is even better. By doing that I managed to retain my shred of faith that there's still some actual public debate in American life. At this point it's looking like we'll keep it unless I can come up with something that's better. I loved this band name when we came up with it, but whatever it's worth to me, it's worth a lot more to show some respect for the gravity of what happened. Yet I don't know if the name of a rock band is a particularly meaningful arena to express this.
