The Nashville terrorist turned his terror plan into a game … he not only extended his 15-minute notice to the authorities, he wanted the area to reverberate with a classic song that had a connection to the area.
Authorities and others in the area heard the song “Downtown” by Petula Clark screaming from the RV that eventually exploded, wreaking havoc in downtown Nashville.
A police spokesman who was clearly not familiar with the song when he slaughtered the singer’s name – he has an excuse because he is too young to know it – said the song is about bright lights and such.
“What I remembered was the ‘center where the lights shine’,” describes Luellen, a subway officer, the song that played in the trailer before the explosion in downtown Nashville. #NashvilleBombing pic.twitter.com/VfBDdnEdVH

As we reported, the authorities are looking for a person of interest … 63 years old Anthony Quinn Warner, which had a trailer similar to the one that exploded and was not seen since the bombing. He is also of the right age to know music, which became a huge hit in 1964.
There is another verse – the opening one, in fact – that could be more revealing … “When you are well and life is leaving you lonely, you can always go downtown.”
The FBI seems to be working on the theory that Warner, who did the IT work, was paranoid about 5G technology, believing it was being used to spy on Americans. The AT&T building was heavily damaged. It is not clear whether he was the target of the attack.
