“People listening to songs are like people reading novels: for a few minutes, for a few hours, someone else gets to come in and hijack that part of your brain that's always thinking. A good book or song kidnaps your interior voice and does all the driving. With the artist in charge you're free for a little while to leave your body and be someone else.” ArtistBrainBooksSongsHijack Book:Player One: What Is to Become of Us Source: Player One: What Is to Become of Us
“The days of passengers sitting still during plane hijackings ended with 9/11. Before then, the worst that would have happened was that you'd probably spend a few days on a runway in a banana republic while the hijackers made their demands. On September 11th, 2001, it was just fireballs of instant death as the planes got deliberately crashed by the terrorists. From that point on, passivity was never an option again.” Bin LadenAl QaedaTerrorist AttacksSeptember 11th9 11HijackingSeptember 11 Attacks9 11 AttackHijackersHijack Author:Stewart Stafford
