If I'm not mistaken, TISL had pretty much fallen off of the charts by 9/11. Again, I'm not saying that Stevie does not have a right to feel horrified and scarred by the whole experience. I'm just saying that she is conflating 9/11 with her performing the song "Love Is," which just doesn't make sense to me. It was never in the setlist then, so what does 9/11 have to do with it? She killed off the song herself.
