Tragedies are all around us. Some are large, while some are small: the death of a family member, unemployment, a failing grade. Who do you turn to when such a tragedy strikes? A close friend? A family member? A stranger? After the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Centers, an inconceivable tragedy for many, no one seemed to know where to turn. There were no easy answers, no solutions. Some turned to religion, some turned to revenge, and some turned to forms of art. Bruce Springsteen?s album The Rising was one of those outlets, and it covered the tragedy with unmatched delicacy and insight.
