Wow.... Have you listened to Lucky? There's a song called Tuesday Morning on there that you have to hear. For those that have a hard time understanding the background voice it's a loop from a song called "Up and Down This Road" by Ella Jenkins, a song about segregation. THe words are...

"up and down this road I go.... Skipping and Dodging... I'm a .44"

I must admit that I didn't know who Mark Bingham was until I heard this song and did some research. Quite frankly I'm pissed off now. There are instances where 3 our the 4 men who intervened on flight 93 were honored and he was purposely left out because he was gay. An actual flight recording matched his voice with his voicemail recording to prove that he was the prominent figure fighting back against the terrorists but since he's gay our country makes him less of a hero.

Funny... He died of a hate crime but not because he was gay... because he was an american in the right place at the wrong time. I just thought that was more than a little bit ironic.
