The music that got me through that day was Backstreet Boys. I must have
listened to all their CDs that night because it made me forget what was
happening because it was so scary.

Music pretty much helped
me through the whole thing. I remember the last album I bought before
the September 11 was by Michelle Branch and I listened to that thing
over and over, all day and night for months and months. It helped me get
through, and to this day it's my favorite album ever. Thanks, Michelle!

The radio and TV were
filled with such disturbing images that I wanted to get away from it. I
put in 'NSYNC. I wasn't really looking for a message, but the upbeat pop
really helped me to leave it for a while.

Music helped me through
the hardest year of my life, all kinds of music, from 'NSYNC to Linkin
Park, Alicia Keys to Bow Wow, Toby Keith to U2. The way that this
country came together is a powerful thing. I became closer with my
friends and learned not to take anything for granted. Thank you, MTV and
all radio stations, for helping me through a time no one ever thought
would come.

I found the MTV News
special ["After 09.11: Pop Life Goes On"] very interesting, but I am
really concerned with the entertainment industry using the idea of
"escapism" as an excuse to produce movies, television, and music that
promotes violence. If people truly enjoy seeing buildings blow up and
people being shot in movies and hearing music glorifying crime in order
to relax and forget their problems, then maybe there is something wrong
with our culture.

I went to see U2 on
October 27 at NYC's Madison Square Garden. I, along with thousands of
rescue workers, finally found the antidote to this misery. We went as
New Yorkers, with a love for the best band we'll ever see. America had
been hit as hard as it possibly could have been, and all of sudden,
these four guys from Ireland appear to take us away.
As soon as they broke into "One," the screen of death popped up. Harsh,
I know, but undeniably true. It was the most surreal moment of my life,
and it probably always will be. There wasn't a dry eye in the house, and
the applause was more of a respectful acknowledgment. "We're one, but
we're not the same. We get to carry each other." You have no idea.
We all read the screen as names of family, friends, and acquaintances
reminded us all that these were real people. They're not a death tally
of 3,000, or whatever. They were people taken from us for no reason
whatsoever, and they were very much real. I'll tell you, there were
20,000 people who carried each other that night.
