Sonic Overload 9/8/14

This week marks the 13th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the US that occurred, of course, on 9/11/01. As many of you know, I lost a close friend of mine that day, Jane Simpkin and this show, as always, is dedicated to her memory. The first set in the last segment features some of her favorite bands. The passage of time has lessened the sting but I’ll never forget what happened that day and I’m sure no one else will, either, especially those who suffered losses. Sadly, history seems to be repeating itself (to use a cliché) with the uprising of ISIS (or ISIL). How much of a threat do they pose to the US? What caused their emergence—was it US actions after the attacks? What military actions lie ahead? Endless war, indeed, and I’m afraid many more lives are likely to be sacrificed.

R.I.P. Jane...
