U2's The Edge delivered the eulogy at Adamson's funeral which was held at Carnegie Hall, Dunfermline. He told the mourners that Big Country wrote the songs that he wished U2 could write.
OMG Alberta! I had no idea! Thanks for sharing!
On another note, I do recall that Bono once stated that he wishes he’d written The Police’s “Invisible Sun”, about the troubles between the Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland.
I wish I could remember where it was that I read an extensive article about Big Country in 2002 or 2003 — it was an interesting and informative read.
Take Care!
