It seemed plain enough in context and from Richard's own onstage comments when the song was first performed and released. Is there some particular reason why the idea is offensive? Is this some left over emotion about 9/11 itself? Just curious. ------------------------------ End of shindell-list-digest V7 #273 ***********************************
