Episode Synopsis

As we remember the September 11 attacks on their 20th anniversary, Danny welcomes "Quartz" writer Scott Nover to discuss an album, by Wilco, that is surprisingly linked to them. The record was actually made prior to the tragic events, but, somehow, its lyrics, mood and artwork appear like they were created directly in response. Since emerging as the band's most acclaimed and popular LP, "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" now represents a keyhole to a time when America needed artistic translation of a day that turned its "orbit around."
