[mike3k]

I still love this song. It has one of the best bass lines ever.

He lives blocks from ground zero. It hit him as much as anyone, he didnt play this song live for many years after 9/11.

[v1switch]

I first heard this song back in 1992. Well before any of the badness in NYC.

I think some of the reference is to the crash into the Empire state building in 1936. He just used the word chysler cuz it is a better word and the building is a better image.

Just so all yall know. SONG RELEASED 10 YEARS BEFORE 2001.

just so yall know.

Wait, he played this song live the day before 9/11? That would freak me out a tad considering the lyrics.

[wackyruss]

He's singing about the Chrysler building, not the Twin Towers.

He also said "a man" not "many men"

The song is also about Chicago, not New York.

SO THERE!

[Agivith]

Regardless, think about waking up the next morning after that concert.

I'm not one for 9/11 conspiracy theories or any of that, it's just a scary coincidence in my opinion.
