    Funny you should mention. Mike Scott heard Prince was covering his song and considered it such an honor because he had always done Purple Rain in his set...

  2. And even more weirdness, At one point, a different musician named Mike Scott was Prince's guitar player off and on in the late 90's and started to notice how I had been to so many shows, and got me in free for a ton of them, saving me some of the money I was spending following them around. I would bet my life that nobody from U2 would let me in free, lol.

    Whoa, that's pretty cool, I've heard of that kinda thing with smaller bands, but not with someone as major as Prince.
  8. Loved the Waterboys intro...BUT would have been amazinng if they had gone back to Rainy Night In Soho
  9. Had no idea what the intro song had been during the tour to now, but Whole of the Moon was an epic choice.
  10. Wow... Whole of the Moon was amazing last night at Croke. Chills
