Probably the only song I enjoy by U2 (other than Sunday, Bloody Sunday) - and only on this day

Interesting video.

I think maybe I like these two songs because they were created long before U2 - or the world - understood what it meant to "sell out"

We believe in digitization for global access to our collection, and will continually add to our Online Archive.

But here are some great reasons why very little of the world’s archival material is digitized.

And: some things need to be seen in person. It can be transformative!

2020: what if we make them pay for things they can screenshot

2025: screenshots are a form of art, actually

the future isn't predicted or predictable, it's created
