6. Songs were banned, albums rejiggered
and tours postponed, but musicians
also banded together, writing
inspirational songs and raising over
$170 million in the weeks after the
terrorist attacks.
The US response to 9/11 prompted a
lot of American bands to start playing
anti-war and anti-government songs. It
also caused many artists to become far
more popular by playing songs that
supported the military. If you pay
attention, you'll notice that a lot of the
country music that was released in the
last decade was pro-military.
