Pretty good chance that relative-of-a-dormmate got it through connections to that George Jung guy featured in the Johnny Depp bio-pic “Blow”. ‘Cause it was gooood stuff for the day!
were you in the 5 college system, mumbles? You;re a guy who coulda been anywhere, Westfield State, Springfield College, Worcester Polytech, shit, you could be WNEC on one hand or Amherst College on the other. You're probably my favorite poster who's posts I kinda hate but I know you;re a solid dude in the meatspace.

When I was a year or 2 or less from graduating, both U2 and VH released old shit, but with either awesome unreleased singles or new stuff.

The U2 release had a predictable but incredible cover, IMO. There was a Newbury Comics in Amherst by this time, and we got the double CD greatest hits a day early because we brought Bueno Y Sano to the workers the night before. Regular burritos, no Grande shit.



The best U2 still gives me all the feels.
