Weird. I’m listening to U2 singing a song about a town near where I grew up. It was written by Peggy Seeger about the coal mining disaster of 1958 (and previous disasters as well, I suppose).

It’s the same town that Anne Murray is from, but if I were from Springhill (and thank god I’m not…it’s almost as ugly as Sydney) I’d find it much cooler that U2 had covered a song about my town.
