Moore, Young, and Townshend

Moore apparently wanted to use “Won’t Get Fooled Again” for F 9/11 but used “Rockin’ In The Free World” instead. Townshend says:

I suggested in the email that they might use something by Neil Young, who I knew had written several songs of a more precise political nature, and is as accessible as I am. Moore himself takes credit for this idea, and I have no idea whether my suggestion reached him, but it was the right thing to do.

My personal favorite musical moment of the movie was the deftly placed clip of Clapton’s “Cocaine.” Moore scored with points with me for that one.
