"A Blues for 9/11 ? Well, not only for that… This song was written after 9/11. It is a relatively simple peace song, mourning the deaths of innocent people. I wrote it after an argument, in which my attempts to say that the victims on 9/11 aren't the only innocents we should mourn was misinterpreted as "excusing terrorism". I thought a song might make my point more clearly.
