As some of you may remember, I wrote last year around this time that I didn't know if I'd continue to weigh in on the events of September 11th, as I feel that I've said pretty much everything I have to say about it and its myriad after-effects. Anything else I might bring to the table by this point would only sound sanctimonious .... or, at least, more sanctimonious than usual.
By this stage of the proceedings, if you haven't had your fill of 9/11 remembrances, feel free to peruse the archives of this blog and visit the previous six September 11ths (I didn't launch this blog until 2005, alas). Like I said, I think I've said everything I need to say about it.
That all said, I spotted the below video on Facebook today, and I just found it so strangely compelling that I wanted to share it here is as well, rather than have it get lost in the winding coil of Facebook ephemera.
Here's Depeche Mode circa 1990 performing "Enjoy the Silence" from the Violator album from the top of the World Trade Center. I snapped the photo up top about seven years after this video was filmed from the middle of West Broadway.
