In this episode, your Uncle Derek and Papa Dave are counting down their Fab 15 U2 Songs! It's a fun listen and a good talk. I didn't edit a lot--I enjoyed the conversation too much! So this one's a little longer. But totally worth it. Check it out!

Pictures:

Here's the cover photo. It's my fond hope that there are Checkmates out there with folders FILLED with the cover photos. If not...start!

Here's the whole pile of stuff from inside the "15." It's most of my U2 collection.

My shirt from the St. Louis show referenced in the episode. Sorry it's a little wrinkled. Surprised me, too.

...and I didn't mention it in the show, but I've got this hanging on the wall of my bedroom. And I think it's pretty neat. :)
