My wife and I switched channels tonight and ran across the CMA awards while Alan Jackson was singing his latest song. I thought, "it's nice, but nothing will ever match his appearance last year with the September 11th tribute."
After his performance, the winner of Song Of The Year was announced. The list included the song he'd just sung, several other contenders, and was rounded out by his song from last year, "Where Were You". I knew immediately it couldn't lose. [img]smile.gif[/img] Many will say, it only won because of September 11th "feelings", and they're right to a certain point. Without September 11th the song wouldn't have made much sense, but it wasn't a "pity vote" win by any stretch. This song touched so many people in a positive way that for it not to win would have been wrong. Just plain wrong. For those who aren't familiar with the song, it wasn't one of the many "over the top" America kicks/will kick ASS songs that came out post September 11th, instead it was a song (the first original tribute if I remember correctly) that pulled the heart strings because it dealt with the events on a personal level. Where were you?
