Liza Minnelli Instagram – Although my primary home is California, New York will always shine in my heart. If you visit me here, you know I try to keep things happy. There’s enough chaos and sadness in the world. Today is different. The terrorism of 9/11 broke my heart into so many pieces, I’m still looking for some of them. 10 days after the loss of over 3,000 people at the World Trade Center Towers, The Mets were deciding should they play a crucial game. I was asked to sing my song… “New York, New York”, the city’s worldwide anthem. I didn’t know if I could do it so, I wanted heroic first responders to join me as a chorus line. Those brave souls had suffered so much. All I had to do was look at them, play for them, the team, the audience… which stopped me from thinking about my own feelings. The great guys hugged me and we cried… after! So in the spirit of saying, whatever hurts…however challenged…damn it. We must push forward. There is no other way. So kids, I love you all and here is that experience… 9/21/2001. We must never forget 9/11 and always find a way to both mourn and move forward. Here’s Mets player Todd Zeile remembering.
