There isn&#8217;t much to do at the mo and it is really getting to me. There is also strange atmosphere at the moment, I have no idea what it is but something just feels out of place. There was an event yesterday afternoon which had me close to hysterics for a few minutes and indeed the people who I shared it with were in the same situation but not really that much laughter this week.

Everything I have heard about it has mentioned September 11 in some way, how much it influenced him or that it is his post 11\/9 album. Listening last night I only realised how true it is. I have absolutely no idea how to explain this in words, but listen to it and listen to his words and you&#8217;ll hear it too. I like this lyric a lot, its delivered so very well. From <i>Nothing Man<\/i>:<\/p>\n<p><i>Buy me a drink and shake my hand<br \/>\nYou want courage<br \/>\nI&#8217;ll show you courage you can understand<\/i><\/p>\n<p>In particular the last line, listen for it.
