We’re moving on from children’s TV shows and fireflies this Insect Music Friday.
Bono became the coolest man on the planet (and we’re not sure he ever relinquished that title) when U2 released “Achtung Baby” and embarked on its subsequent Zoo TV tour. The album was a complete and surprisingly welcome departure from their mega-album “The Joshua Tree.”
