U2 – Sunday Bloody Sunday
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News
From a live recording:
“There’s been some talk, maybe too much talk, about whether this is a rebel song. This is not a rebel song. This ‘Sunday, Bloody Sunday.”
Bono
I prefer the studio version of this from way back when.
This was a painful mess.
Artists never grasp that they have an expiration date.
Too involved with themselves to realize that folks move on fairly quickly to shinier things.

I grew up in Colorado; if anyone gets a chance to go see a concert at Red Rocks, do it. It’s an amazing venue.
