vol. 22

well, the god i believe in
isn't short of cash, mister...
...okay edge, play the blues...
-- silver and gold,
u2

it's weird how things can be coincidental -- i've been jotting some things down while listening to music or watching a movie for upcoming blog entries -- i had those lines above written down -- i absolutely love them -- they came out in a time when we saw tv evangelist after tv evangelist begging for money -- i don't remember what the one's name was, but i do remember him claiming that god had told him that if he didn't raise a million dollars in a set amount of time, then he would die -- and the money came in...i guess i should get to the coincidence -- i got an email from nick last night telling me that i had to check out a video -- it was a youtube clip of u2 and bb king playing when love comes to town live -- keep in mind that, to the best of my knowledge, nick and i have never spoken about this...

at any rate...
  • if you haven't seen it already, you really need to do yourself the favor and watch u2's rattle and hum -- it's worth every single minute -- the specific lines above are from a song called silver and gold -- that clip is the section from the movie itself...edge's guitar solo at about 5:50 is just killer...
  • you haven't heard i still haven't found what i'm looking for until you hear it backed by a choir from harlem...
