Last week I mentioned Bono revealing the 60 Songs That Saved His Life upon his 60th birthday, but I did not know he personally wrote a note to each songwriter, or their estate, about why that song meant so much to him. Pretty cool.
Dear The Clash,
Listening to you changed the way I heard music. Seeing you play
on your first tour changed my life and gave U2 a sense that activism
could be sexy and dangerous… and the clobber, the stage gear worn at all
times. The look as well as the sound of revolt… U2 would immediately
cop the militant outfitting, but could never look that cool… no one
could.
Someone once said just seeing The Clash walk down the street could change your life.
