The Barr Brothers - Beggar In The Morning(Live On Letterman)
I actually prefer the official video for this song, but I’m posting the live one above so that you can see some of the crazy use of instruments,….and feck, do I love harmonica. :)
Oh, and they have a harp in the band. How cool is that?
“She said, hello I’m a monster too, and
what poisons me, is what poisons you…
Into these animals we grew, well
when we were young, our eyes were blue….”

U2 - MLK
“MLK” is the tenth and final song from U2’s 1984 album, The Unforgettable Fire. A lullaby to honor Martin Luther King, Jr., it is a short, pensive piece with simple lyrics. It was because of this song, along with “Pride (In the Name of Love)”, another tribute to King, that earned Bono the highest honor of the King Center, an organization founded by Coretta Scott King.”
Interesting.
…….And Good song to honor a great man.

This is ridiculous,…in the best possible way.
I love the guy wrapped in an emergency blanket howling. I lovw Wayne Coyne. I love the FLIPS, and am seriiously wishing I could be one of their roadies. Haha
