How did 9-11 change America, and how did it change you?
I watched the two towers explode and burn and people scream and run. The thing that I was so moved by and proud of Americans…. Because I was kind of grossed off by Americans after electing Bush the first time, when he won the “election”. I thought it was fantastic and I turned on the TV and I was seeing the firemen and it's the blue collar people that are being applauded by the white collar speculators. It definitely is the end of the world. For my vision of it, there could be heaven, it could be right that people who do the actual work are applauded. It could happen. And we have that minute in America where we actually saw what was important and what was real through the haze of bull**** that we're fed every second on television and the media. Just for that second, the people who do the actual work, who actually put their bodies there; are being applauded by the speculator class. It was unbelievable; it was a world upside down on its head. It's so cool that Americans would see the truth of that. That's what they don't want us to see, but I did see it and I said I'm not going to stay here in this bed on booze anymore. I'm going to go back in the world and be part of it because I wasn't so disgusted. It kind of lifted me out of my depression in a weird way.
