Very sad about the passing of Manchàn Magan, a beautiful soul. His written work, podcasts and documentaries have meant so much to me. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam. www.irishtimes.com/opinion/edit...

104. New Year's Day. Stirring Irish drama. "Gold is the reason for the wars we wage." Still true, Bono. BTW, The lads didn't ride the horses through the snow in the video - teen girls did because U2 were too cold youtu.be/jeYCyCaK_5k?...

109. Wish You Were Here. At some point I realized "hey Dark Side of the Moon is actually a pretty good album?!" And "Wait, I kind of like Led Zeppelin?" and "OK, American Beauty is one of my favorite albums?!??" Surprises abound

As I kid I listened to Magical Mystery Tour while sending time-travel ESP messages to The Beatles (that is, 4 or 5 Magicians) asking them to roll up and take me away to marvellous places. I may or may not have revived this practice youtu.be/l8WMGBuNaus?...
