The List for Monday, September 11th 2023

Welcome to The List,

Alan Jackson was asked about writing and then performing his song ‘Where Were You, When the World Stopped Turning’ during the 35^th Annual CMA Awards “At first I didn’t think I would ever write a song about the event because I just didn’t feel right about it and then this came out of nowhere and then it went on to be such an anthem for it for years. And now it’s kind of grown into just its own song outside of 9/11 where it’s just a song about faith and hope and love.” Of performing it? He was proud they just got to do it.
