NEW YORK, Aug. 14 -- Days after the Twin Towers fell,
thousands of first responders aided New York in its devastating crisis,
giving Americans a great sense of hope. Seven years by and by, many of these
heroes have been forgotten - and worsened, over 15,000 have become gravely
ill.
Steven Centore, source of the new book One of Them: A First Responder's
Story, was unrivaled of the many wHO volunteered to assist in the immediate
aftermath of the plan of attack on September 11, 2001, and then during the
eighteen-month long recovery efforts.
Mr. Centore's book has shed light on the neglect of these first
responders, and caught the attention of New York musician Paul Zunno.
"After reading One of Them, I felt compelled to raise consciousness about
the great sacrifice that was made by these hands and women," says the
musician.
In an endeavour to get involved, Mr. Zunno recorded the new single, "Hold
Me Up" and teamed up with John Feal, fall through and chief Executive of the FealGood
Foundation (a non-profit arrangement, created to educate the public virtually
the health effects on 9/11 first-class honours degree responders, and provide fiscal
assistance to these people). For more than information you can call in

"The flack didn't end on September 11th," says Mr. Centore. "It
continues to this day, as first responders suffer from the aftereffects.
It's near like radiation poisoning after a nuclear attack - first come
the initial victims and then, those who've been poisoned by the clouds of
deadly dust."
As of today, the toxins at Ground Zero have affected:
-- 4,517 the great unwashed with upper berth respiratory ailments
-- 3,857 with lower respiratory illness
-- 398 with lung disease
-- 2,616 with asthma
-- 1,340 with sopor apnea
-- 2,528 with a heart condition caused or worsened by 9/11
"And that's only when what's been officially reported in medical records,"
says Mr. Centore. "There ar a host of other ailments such as cancer,
diseases poignant vital variety meat and mental health issues."
"I'm a New Yorker and should have known about this [issue] a good deal
sooner," says Mr. Zunno. "'Hold Me Up' is probably one of the most personal
songs I have ever written, and I wanted Steve, John and all of the
responders to know that they have my support."
In a joint effort to assist Ground Zero workers, Mr. Zunno has decided
to donate 100% of the profits of his new song (useable for download on
iTunes and CDbaby.com) to the FealGood Foundation. For more information you

"I think given the chance most people would want to bring to
this cause," says Mr. Zunno. "Here's their chance to help while the
political end of this gets worked out."

Spinetta -- wide call Luis Alberto Spinetta -- is one of the nigh pregnant and influential figures in the development of sway music in Argentina. Renowned for his poetical lyrics, Spinetta emerged as a voice of john Rock & roll rebellion during a sentence of intense social unrest, couching tabu social and political commentary in subtle metaphors that much incurred the anger of the Argentine politics. Taking the Beatles -- and John Lennon in particular -- as his musical floor, Spinetta added his own South American hippy sensitiveness early on, eventually branching kO'd into more progressive, rarify compositions steeped in nothingness concordance. He continued recording all the style into the new millennium, left a well-respected figure in his home nation.
Spinetta was born January 23, 1950, in Buenos Aires, and grew up in the Belgrano territory; he began vocalizing and playacting guitar at a young age, making his television debut at age 14. Charged by his first encounter with the Beatles, the 17-year-old Spinetta formed a band called Almendra in 1967. Their 1969 debut record album, Almendra I, basically wrote the commencement significant chapter of the history of Argentine rock, producing a immense hit in the Spinetta paper "Muchacha (Ojos de Papel)." After the 1970 followup, Almendra II, the group splintered, and Spinetta recorded a guest-laden solo project, La Busqueda de la Estrella, credited to Spinettalandia y Sus Amigos.
In 1972, Spinetta formed a unexampled group called Pescado Rabioso (Rabid Fish), a more aggressive stone outfit influenced by psychedelia and electrical blues-rock that produced some of his most groundbreaking ceremony work. The group recorded three albums over the socially roiled 1972-1973 period (the last, the acclaimed Artaud, was fundamentally a Spinetta solo album). In late 1973, Spinetta disbanded Pescado Rabioso and formed a raw grouping, Invisible, which marked a partial return to acoustic instruments and saw him commencement to contain malarky into his compositions. Additionally, his songwriting voice was ontogeny more provocative, and many Invisible songs came to be touchstones of the politically repressive times (indeed, both band and fans were sometimes captive after performances). As a pernicious material body of protestation, Spinetta's albums often featured nontextual matter by acquaintances world Health Organization disappeared under the Argentine totalitarianism.
After three albums from 1974-1976 with Invisible, Spinetta stepped out under his have describe on 1977's A 18 del Sol, forming a new backing band that entered full-fledged jazz-rock territory. For the reexamination, he traveled to the U.S. in 1979 and recorded Only Love Can Sustain, an uncharacteristic album of jazzy, glibly produced piano pop he has since disavowed. Returning to Argentina, Spinetta briefly reunited Almendra earlier forming a raw grouping, Spinetta Jade, his most musically progressive contrive to date. Four albums followed from 1980-1984, as well as a duo of solo platters. With the return of democracy to Argentina in the mid-'80s, Spinetta went solo one time over again and recorded prolifically from 1986-1991, including an aborted externalize with Charly GarcÃa and a more successful collaborationism with the danton True Young Fito Paez.
Apart from the 1993 film soundtrack Fuego Gris, Spinetta remained tacit for some time; his marriage ceremony dissolved in 1996, and he was romantically joined to model Carolina Peleretti. He in conclusion returned in 1997 with a stripped -- in time static musically progressive -- group, los Socios del Desierto (The Partners of the Desert); they released a self-titled debut and an MTV Unplugged installment that twelvemonth. San Cristóforo followed in 1998, as did the introverted Los Ojos in 1999. The solo project Silver Sorgo, featuring comment on the Argentine economic crisis, was released in 2001, earning Spinetta iI Latin Grammy nominations (C. H. Best Solo Rock Album and Best Rock Song, the latter for "El Enemigo").
