BTW, I’m back on a regular schedule, so we’ll be back to science and atheism and all that fun stuff tomorrow. I was off for a few days and made the most of it. Before that I tried to set up some timed posts, but that turned out to exceed my capabilities or something … . I’m glad I missed most of the news coverage. This U2 song kept flitting through my mind whenever I’d catch an update, even though it doesn’t really fit.
Great song that with a few different versions.
My all-time fave – out of all U2 and almost all music ever – is the Inniskillen version here :

Just listen to Bono there. Raw emotion is a cliche but that, that is raw emotion and so powerful and so, so, durn true. Blows me away every time I hear it. Still.
Glad to have you blogging again.
Colorado batman premiere shootings, what can we say? Awful beyond words.
ForWhatever Little It’s Worth, I think that song is an apt choice and comes to my mind too.
I also wish we heard more prominently and more often about the names and lives of that Colorado murderers victims and less about the pyschopathic scum who killed them. Media. :-(
While on this U2 binge & the victims of human violence this to :
