U2's album "The Joshua Tree" is one of the biggest and most influential of all time, and it's the subject of this, our first episode of 2024. We mostly focus in on the song "Where The Streets Have No Name," but discuss other songs too, as well as the making of the video and the band's later involvement with author and filmmaker Bill Carter during the civil war in Sarajevo in the early Nineties. We're sure you'll agree that they're an incredible band with an incredible story, even the comparatively miniscule part that we're choosing to illuminate here.
