I’m having a bit of an Emerald Isle fest, for St Patrick.

Songs inspired by the uneasy reunification of East and West Germany are pretty rare, maybe because it’s not a naturally easy place to start from, especially for some Irish boys, but this turned out to be one of the greatest songs from the last century:

Just watched an excellent film with Dave Letterman interviewing Bono and The Edge- filmed recently in Dublin, very well done. Streaming on the Disney network:

Peg, that line is very powerful, on purpose or not. The more I read it the more layers it has.
From around the time of this man, until very recently

Hi Jimmy,
I wondered if anyone would spot that.
I stuck it in as a throwaway line, but with a deeper meaning; Ireland at this time (1990) had a host of it’s own troubles, the problems in the North Would not be infulenced by ‘The Good Friday Agreement’ for another 8 years, The EU membership contributions had not yet turned itself into the High Tech investments that occurred mid 90’s.
For U2 to be concerned with the difficult coming together of the East and West Germans, while there was so much going on at home shows a continued astute awareness of the world.
They were recording ‘Achtung Baby’at Hansa Tonstudios, so I suppose they were quite close to it.
It’s a complicated song, with echoes of discontentment in the band (bass and drums wanting to be US stadium rock, guitar and vocal wanting a more ‘European Sound’), and the regrets on a marriage after an afair.

it’s beautifully miserable, which suits me just fine.

Regards
Peg.

Just read a bio on her demise. So sad.

 

[RichWalker]

Kind of tired of things these days. Thought I'd get back to some ...other times.

Hey Rich
Other than the Levellers "Beautiful Day" posted above, this is my other default 'go to' tune to feel good
