Session Fifteen Playlist:
- Gordie Sampson – Sunburn
- Gandharvas – First Day of Spring
- Green Day – Holiday
- Smashing Pumpkins – 1979

- Aunt Bettys – Jesus
- Fleming & John – Love Songs

And as Daniel said, you seem to be on a roll here, good songs just keep coming. So can we expect this every week ?
"Africa makes a fool of our idea of justice; it makes a farce of our idea of equality. It mocks our pieties, it doubts our concern, it questions our commitment.
"Because there's no way we can look at Africa - a continent bursting into flames - and if we're honest conclude that it would ever be allowed to happen anywhere else.
"Anywhere else. Certainly not here. In Europe. Or America. Or Australia, or Canada. There's just no chance.
"You see, deep down, if we really accepted that Africans were equal to us, we would all do more to put the fire out."
I don't think he's an idiot. I think he's full of himself, but not an idiot. Also, the major difference betweem Bono and Rain Mehta (not really sure how you spell that) is that Bono can sing whereas on a good day Rain sounds like a diseased yak.
Loved the session. Keep em' comin.
Johnny, for some reason I'm surprised to hear that you're a Bono man. I should clarify. I think Bono "comes across as an idiot" in one-on-one interview. I'm not sure he is an idiot. Example of him sounding like a jack-ass: VH1 Classic Albums on Joshua Tree (oh, VH1 Classic Albums made Paul Simon sound like an idiot on the Graceland episode too - maybe it's them)
"Vertigo" rocks, by the way. The UK's "Q Magazine" has a track-by-track article on the new album, with comments on each song from the band:
