Good song. I play it every new year. Interesting video. I don’t want to presume anything but I find it surprising a bunch of guys from Dublin had horseback riding experience.

I don’t mean this as a pejorative but they are a Christian rock band. Adam told them early on that if they wanted him in the band they needed to tone down the religious stuff.

Saw them in Hampton in what became the Rattle and Hum movie tour. Cashed my $150 paycheck at a Winn-Dixie and we (many others too) spent the night in the coliseum parking lot. I bought 10 tickets for $150.
