Pink Floyd's "Backing" in America's First Song For Inspiration After 9/11/01!
Posted: 11-27-2015 10:51 PM
Daily Snopes is a huge web site and well visited about world wide urban legends. I plastered one there for all to read and reply. They had never heard of what I placed there and promoted for just one Snopes member who may have heard this. There was not a peep out of anyone saying they had heard it
Copy and paste this line into Google,........Pink Floyd George C. Scott Patton Run Like Hell this is my rifle...........see what comes up!
FYI I'll add this line tonight and it seldom works like I'd hoped it would .........
Comments? Questions? Or crickets?
The link starts in the right place now ( for a few years it did not!) and my snopes user name was Coal Glow Kidd, Evansville, IN.

In an edit actually on August 14 vs the 15th noted below: Here is the printable version with the "whole nine yards" archived at a very "liberal snopes". I heard snopes termed liberal two weeks ago on the Jim Bohannon Show.

Here is the thread in total just in case Snopes disappears.

Where were you when you heard this compilation? Run Like Hell from Pink Floyd's The Wall album was used by (Clear Channel Communications?)a radio network shortly after 9/11/01. A Southern Baptist fire and brimstone preacher gave a rousing sermon. A US Marine recited "This is my rifle". George C. Scott said in his first lines from Patton, " We'll grease our tank treads with their guts!" This was not played in the New York City area. A Staten Island friend of mine didn't hear it.
However Pink Floyd's 'The Dogs of War' and 'Run Like Hell' were repeated alot on radio there. It gave me chills to hear the inspireing compilation one time. To me this little played song gained urban legend status, but did anyone here,....hear it?

I don't know about that one. Once, when I was in high school, a radio station was bought out and changed format. Before it changed hands, for a full week, all it played was the Funeral March, Pink Floyd's "Time", and "You Light Up My Life". Over and over and over. A whole week of three songs.

I would prefer not to.

35 years ago a popular station had a fire. The only song played when they quickly got back on the air,...Ring of Fire, by Johnny Cash. This was for one day only that I remember. Three songs for a week? The tuner control worked wonders again on that week!

Chills? The ten plus one tracks of A Momentary Lapse Of Reason were read on Coast to Coast AM right after America's momentary lapse of reason,...ing!
Pink Floyd has 9 letters and there are a total of 11 tracks in the 1986/87 album. No Urban Legend there,...and I wonder if Daily Snopes investigated that one? I'll have to look from time to time.
Look no further........

I'll change it to,..played alot instead of over and over. This was noted from a friend who liked Pink Floyd. The American Blues singers Pink Anderson and Floyd Council's first names were chosen as the band's name by Syd Barrett. There have been many songs of inspiration since. If you heard this compilation please let me know.

When I was in college, a classic rock station played "James Dean (too fast to live, too young to die, bye-bye)" all day. I don't know why they did it, but I couldn't get the blasted song out of my head.

MK, On Pink Floyd's forum from England my topic there got asked the same question. How does it fit in? The background music was low in volume. The title "Run Like Hell" fits so well; it's what we want them to do. The way the song is sung and played; with "GREAT" determination. Our local Classic Rock stations play The Wall's song alot. The live concert versions last much longer in time.
That was a nice gesture by Roger Waters. This moving piece was the first of many that I wish all stations would play more often. "Let's Roll" by Neil Young is one of many I miss hearing. If we let our guard down they'll be played again or new ones will be made if there is time and electricity to make them!

There are 44 more posts that got off topic and that's a given on any forum. The odd thing is there were song titles and lyrics that the poster found to connect to NYC and 9/11/01.
I should have placed this in the 9/11 topic here. Maybe we can do that trick. In around a week I will ask Alpha to delete the credited posts here from snopes. I borrowed ten of 'em for a bit. I hated to see this one get archived. I was going to keep it active as long as it took to read that someone had heard this compilation.
MK Standing by...........and in case it was missed, I'm CGK formerly at snopes. Linked again

This old archived thread "morphed into something completely different from the topic" . As they noted, off topic, prophetic songs posting strange connections with 9/11/01. Threads get off topic so easily, don't they?
Let me know if you have heard this song's legendary compilation and IT WAS America's first song of inspiration after 9/11/01. Surprisingly posting this elsewhere to get comments was like pulling hen's teeth! I hope that's not the case here.
