What I’m listening to right now.
U2, “Bloody Sunday.”
I was listening to my MP3 files on shuffle yesterday to this song, and I had the most vivid flashbacks of my first visit to New York City, in 1983. I was with some friends from college – we’d somehow convinced ourselves that driving from Minnesota to NYC for a 4 day weekend was a good idea. So after 24 hours of driving straight through, we crossed the George Washington Bridge into Manhattan. I didn’t take any pictures on that trip, but here’s some random internet-found photos that capture the feeling of seeing NYC for the first time from that perspective.
The song’s theme (Irish politics) doesn’t match my vivid mental images at all, but they’re indelibly linked in my brain.
