As I was dressing at home, I heard excited voices from the TV in the other room. There was something that looked like a disaster movie on, and I switched it off. Twenty minutes later, I was walking through the back door of Laser’s Edge Compact Discs, ready to start the workday. Michael had arrived earlier, and had WBHM’s radio broadcast playing on the store audio system while he was trying to pull up a television signal on the store monitor. This was not a movie. Instead of a deserted store that day – as I would have expected – customers and neighboring merchants were coming in to talk and would linger in conversation longer than usual. It was a Tuesday, which is traditionally new release day in the music industry. Among the releases that day were Bob Dylan’s “Love and Theft” and a live album by Dream Theater that featured – in one of the most eerie and creepiest coincidences I have ever witnessed – a rendering of the World Trade Center in flames.
