True, but nobody born after 9/11 knows who the fuck Barbra Streisand even is, so they definitely don't know the story.

Lol people born after 9/11 were <9 when this song came out.

Fair, but they still could have heard it on the radio while their parents were driving them to hockey practice or welding seminars or whatever 9yos did back then 🤷
