Well Jim, I don't know about the rest
of Wind-up (although I can pretty much safely guess) but it affected Amercian
Pearl enough that Kevin re-wrote "Bleed" about the events.
Here's the mailout from Roman (who
STILL owes me my signed poster!!!) sent to all the
street-teamers...
Also below is the "story" behind the
re-writing of Bleed into the song "Believe"...

**********************************************************
American
Pearl Street Teamers -
I hope that you and your families and
friends are well and were left unscathed by last week's tragedy.
Here's
some news from the American Pearl front:
Kevin Roentgen from
American Pearl was deeply affected by the horror inflicted by the
terrorists on the United States last week. He was so inspired that he re-worked
his song "Bleed" to capture his sentiments and re-titled the song
"Believe".
You can download this song tonight from the
American Pearl website and read the story behind the song.
Peace.
Roman
**********************************************************
In the wake of the September 11
tragedy in New York and Washington D.C., American Pearl's Kevin Roentgen and
Wind-up's Chairman Alan Meltzer have co-written a track called "Believe".
Following the attacks on U.S. soil, Kevin was in contact with Meltzer. "We both
felt so vulnerable," said Roentgen. "Together, we decided to channel our
bitterness, anger and frustration into a call for hope and unity."
The
result, "Believe", was recorded in Los Angeles Monday, September 17th and is
being electronically distributed to radio stations around the country.
American Pearl and Wind-Up Records
have decided to release this song as an MP3 so everyone who wishes can have it
free of charge. Charitable donations may be made through participating radio
stations and on-line retailers who offer the download, or by visiting www.helping.org.
