Of watching the planes crash into the Twin Towers from his apartment in 2001, the lead singer of the Lemonheads (the sleep-pillaged brain salutes you, Deborah) said:
"I had a good experience that day. I'd always wanted to see a plane crash. I don't know if that's morbid - it was kind of beautiful in a weird way. I could almost reach out and touch the plane as it came in. I started to get really sad about 9/11 about a year later, once I'd realised people had died in there... It was nothing to do with the planes hitting the buildings, them falling down. I know that for sure. It was a bomb planted in the building. Maybe it was al-Qaeda that planted it, but I very much doubt it."
