U2 with Special Guest David Husted (EP58)

Team Derringer is joined by recording artist David Husted from Maryland in the US. David is a super fan of the Dublin, Ireland band U2. Together they count down David's Top 5 favorite U2 songs.
During this music adventure:
You will hear about a song written by U2 in honor of Martin Luther King Jr., including a snippet from one of MLK's most famous calls to action.
You will discover which U2 song features not one but two glockenspiels. Team Derringer will even tell you what in the world is a glockenspiel and which two members of the band played glockenspiels on the hit recording of a song that you will surely know.
David Husted's #1 pick will take you back to the legendary 1985 Live Aid concert and the 12 minutes that turned U2 from a promising rock band into global superstars when Bono jumped off the 10-foot-high stage mid-song to save the life of audience member Kal Khalique. By the way, Kal was a fan of the band Wham! not U2.
David and Team Derringer also each reveal their favorite songs from U2's 1987 classic album The Joshua Tree.
U2's 2024 hit song Atomic City is also included, along with David Husted's latest single Collide, released 12 April 2024.

Foo Fighters (EP55)

After the tragic demise of one of the most critically acclaimed grunge bands of the early 1990s, a new music project arose. Originally intended as a solo endeavor by a talented multi-instrumentalist (and former Nirvana drummer), Dave Grohl, the debut Foo Fighters album captured the interest of music industry executives.
Grohl had intended the Foo Fighters moniker to provide him with a bit of anonymity; however, he soon realized that a full band would soon be required to support the attention-grabbing endeavor. Slowly a full line-up of talented musicians coalesced around its founding member and primary songwriter.  
By the time the band released its sophomore album, they were landing singles on music charts worldwide. Over the years, the Foo Fighters have won more than 10 Grammy Awards and continue to crank out chart topping singles and terrific – and often humorous – supporting videos.
In this episode, Team Derringer is joined by long-time friend and music super-fan, DP Derringer. Join the crew as they recap the founding of the Foo Fighters and explore their all-time favorite Foo Fighters songs.
At the end of this episode, you’ll hear from Jeff Touzeau along with his daughter Caroline Touzeau, who are running in the upcoming Boston Marathon to raise awareness for the TargetCancer Foundation: https://www.targetcancerfoundation.org. Interesting trivia: Jeff is a friend and former bandmate of Paul and Alton.
