It's 1985, and ska outfit Fishbone finally has a hit with "Party at Ground Zero." The song becomes a party anthem, and both life and royalties are good...until September 11, 2001, when suddenly the phrase "Ground Zero" no longer gets people to hit the dance floor. Fishbone's lead singer, Angelo Moore, recently vented his frustration. "Did they have to call it 'Ground Zero?' Couldn't it be 'The Pit?' or 'The Hole?' Or how about 'The Wreckage?' Man, that cost me over a mil."
"Tell me about it," said Robert Plant, who wrote the music and lyrics to Led Zeppelin's "When the Levee Breaks."

Too soon, man, too soon.
All these other 9/11 jokes, I could take. But the Fishbone one ... well, that just crossed the line.
