Today, we're listening to #U2 Wild Irish Rose. What a great track - can't understand why it was never released, other than this TV clip.

Just finished Rejection by Tony Tulathimutte and really enjoyed it. It’s funny and painfully honest. The characters are messy in the best way, and the writing pulls no punches. Definitely worth a read if you like sharp, smart, slightly chaotic stories. #BookSky #Reading

Recently read Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver. What a great novel. It’s based on David Copperfield but retold in modern day Appalachia. Wonderful work. 10/10. #booksky #reading.

One of my favourite Canadian bands, they put out some solid music in the 90’s. I loved that 90’s Canadian Indy sound. #MusicSky

I recently read The Man Who Saw The Angels Fall by Christophe Lebold. A must read for any fan of #LeonardCohen. #BookSky #Reading

This is one of the greatest songs ever written:

During the creation of U2's All That You Can't Leave Behind, Bono’s laptop—containing lyrics for the album—was stolen from his car. Luckily, it was returned by a buyer who recognized Bono's child’s photo on the screen.
