Does anybody else think it was a bit of chart

fixing that got the BEP to No1 in the UK as

opposed to actual sales. It just seems like too

much of a coincidence that it got to no1 in

"2 years on from 911" week (much like when

it was fixed so "God Save The Queen" got to

no2 in Jubilee '77 week).

I also think its a shite song.

The problem is its all to do with context. The

message of that song is cheapened by the

radio friendly hip hop that accompanies it, its a

bit like hearing Billy Bragg backed by S Club 7

being played at a school disco.

It would have been better if Public Enemy had

reformed, got the Bomb Squad in and recorded

a 911 song. Chuck would have wrote some

thought provoking lyrics, the Bomb Squad would

have come up with a "It Takes A Nation.." esque

cut up party jam/rock riff musical backing and

the video would have been filmed at Ground Zero

with quick cutting clips from CNN of Twin Towers

and Iraq.

At least Chuck would have meant it.
