It’s interesting to see how people slash and dash pictures to songs for The Kinks’ “Catch Me Now (I’m Falling)”, a song which probably was tossed into some radio playlists about 9\/11, and which the first non-concert and non-cover\u00c2\u00a0youtube I get is this<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0— final image\u00c2\u00a0is a stock portfolio chart plunging,\u00c2\u00a0and the image that comes up with “Catch me now I’m falling” first plays\u00c2\u00a0is the World Trade Center in flames.<\/p>\n

This brings to mind the commentary from the weeks following 9\/11, as the site was being excavated, which drew the Flag being Raised at the WTC with the Flag Being Raised at Iwo Jima<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 (Incidentally, posed after battle.)\u00c2\u00a0 The line this evokes from The Star Spangled Banner, “Gave proof through the night, that the Flag was still there.”\u00c2\u00a0 The “Star Spangled Banner”, and I would link the the Negativland rendition from youtube, but I can’t find it, so this will suffice<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0 (Just $2.08, you say<\/a>?).\u00c2\u00a0 It is a war song, regarding battered battleground, message being that even in the Face of Destruction, the “Flag is Still there”.\u00c2\u00a0 That message accounts for its spontaneous outburst on Election Day at Pioneer Square<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 The message falls somewhere between this<\/a> and this<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
