A friend of mine sent me the link to this video, and I think it’s pretty cool. 16 performers and two choruses in 14 locations around the USA. I thought the video was very well produced and carries a very positive message. Watch it and if you have any comments, please type them in below.
How This Video Came About
The video is the product of Declare Yourself. The founder, Norman Lear (TV producer and philanthropist), was talking with Academy Award-winning songwriter Keith Carradine one night, and the Born Again American video was born. There is more information, including the lyrics to the song on their web site.
Enjoy the video.

”Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke, rising against that blue sky? Did you shout out in anger, in fear for your neighbor, or did you just sit down and cry?”
I wanted to put up a video in remembrance of 9-11-01. I’ve watched a lot of videos on YouTube and most of them have pictures or video from that horribly tragic day. So, I thought I would put up a video of Alan Jackson, singing his song, Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning? I think it says it all.
I know there are some who feel we need forget that day and move on. But I believe for those who senselessly lost their lives that day, for the friends and families who lost loved ones, and for the brave men and women who were true heroes that day, we ought to remember.
Alan first performed this song at the Country Music Association’s annual awards show on November 7, 2001. It became the single of the year as well as the song of the year for 2001.
A Little Background About the Song
Speaking of the song, Jackson said, ”I’m sure there are people who criticize it, but I wrote what I felt; I didn’t premeditate anything. I’m just a singer of simple songs, and that’s the truth. And I don’t know the difference in Iran and Iraq. And some people that aren’t real religious probably don’t want to hear it, and that’s all right. I didn’t sit down to heal the world or anything.”
The story goes that he sat upright in bed one night in late October with most of it in his head. ”After the 11th, I was pretty disturbed, like most people. For a few weeks I thought about writing something. I’m sure a lot of people who write songs felt the same way, but I didn’t want to write a patriotic thing and couldn’t think of anything that didn’t feel like you’d be taking advantage of it commercially.
So I didn’t think anything else about it, to be honest.” But that night, the melody, opening lines, and chorus came to him. “I went downstairs in my underwear and put this thing down so I wouldn’t forget it the next morning.”
”It’s been overwhelming, the response to it, and a little scary, really, for me,” I’ve had so many people come up to me, and I don’t know what to say, other than that I just feel like it was a gift from God. I don’t know why He picked me to send those words to, but I’m glad it’s been a healing song for some people.”
And so, on this September 11th, eight years later, I think his song is still very healing.

Watching parts of the show, “Expedition Africa” sure made me thankful for all our modern conveniences. As a matter of fact, it made me thankful for something we all just take for granted: drinking water!
