He never actually took the journey described in the song, Chuck is from St Louis, not Norfolk.

No angel born in hell Could break that satan’s spell. And as the flames climbed high into the night To light the sacrificial rite, I saw satan laughing with delight The day the music died And this one reminds me of the Bush administration: We'll be fighting in the streets With our children at our feet And the morals that they worship will be gone And the men who spurred us on Sit in judgement of all wrong They decide and the shotgun sings the song I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around me Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again ...still, they describe my thoughts toward these events better than anything written since the events ...and they are about 30-40 years old! For the younger readers, that is: "American Pie" by Don McLean "Hope We Don't Get Fooled Again" by The Who Not nearly as prophetic, but:

This song reminds me of 9/11:

Oh, and as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage.
No angel born in hell
Could break that satan’s spell.
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite,
I saw satan laughing with delight
The day the music died

And this one reminds me of the Bush administration:

We’ll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgement of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song

I’ll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around me
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I’ll get on my knees and pray
We don’t get fooled again

…still, they describe my thoughts toward these events better than anything written since the events …and they are about 30-40 years old!

For the younger readers, that is:
“American Pie” by Don McLean
“Hope We Don’t Get Fooled Again” by The Who
