SINISTER: to add to the last post

Harp Magazine's Fall 2001 edition has an interview with Gillian Welch which refers to her songs about April 14th. I will add this interesting article to my links list too.

Welch refuses to explain the connections between the events mentioned within the songs. With a nervous laugh, she admits, “When I was working on ‘Ruination Day,’ I got spooked. I honestly spooked myself. I don’t know how deep to go into it, but, um, you know, it’s a bad day. Some bad stuff went on. And it’s so peculiar, and such a strange coincidence, that it makes you stop and think. That’s all I’ll say. Sinister. I found it very sinister, the number of bad things that have gone down on April 14.”
