Eight years ago our lives were changed forever.

Take just a moment of slience for the victims of the attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and the heroes of United Flight 93.

Truly one of the heart breaking moments in the history of our nation, if not the world. This is the review I wrote for Sting's All This Time DVD on Amazon, which was recorded on that tragic day, back on the 5th anniversary in '06...


"Having just marked the 5 year anniversary of September 11th, 2001, this concert still encases the emotion of that day perfectly. Recorded in Sting's backyard in Italy, it's a concert that almost didn't take place. Recorded on that fateful day in 2001, Sting nearly called it off. Wisely, it's my feeling, Sting and his band chose to go on with the show. Nothing can bring people together in times of sorrow better than music. Memories of that day still haunt us all, but this simple event in the backyard of Sting's villa proves that even on that day, there were people who believed in a better world. We, as human beings, share our grief and our joy. Regardless of what color your skin is or which country you hail from, that day taught us all the meaning of love and companionship. And Sting simply put a beat to it, gave us a soundtrack to explore our emotions. A somber event to be sure, but it's not without joy. For underneath all the pain of that day, there's a glimmer of hope."
