The show went on:

The first time I went to see Belle & Sebastian was the Friday following September 11th. The band played “Turn, Turn, Turn” (written by Pete Seeger, best known by the recording done by the Byrds) very early in the set. Now I want to say that they opened the set with that song, but maybe I believe that because it had such a powerful effect on me. Something about choosing that song, and the wonderful harmonizing the band did when they sang it, it was as though they were asking us as best as they could to be rational, to not be reactive.

It was absolutely brilliant.
