Greatest Song You Never Heard 10-5 Killers, Bob Geldof






Well in honor of two very different events taking place, today's greatest song you never heard is a live version of the Killers doing Read My Mind. Wait..........WTF Bri, that's not an unknown song right? Well the intro to the song is actually the cover of an old Cars song called Drive. The Cars were alternative before the word was ever used to describe music, lifestyles, and the abstinent version of sex (not my words, not my words) Drive was also the de facto campaign song of the original Live Aid concert which raised millions of dollars to aid the starving and sick in Africa. Live Aid was the brain child of Sir Bob Geldof who turned 58 today. Bob was a better humanitarian than he was a musician or at least more successful as a humanitarian. His biggest single was with his band the Boomtown Rats. It's about a 1979 school shooting out in California. In honor of Sir Bob's big day, I'll feature two rare songs today.





Below is a news story about the Killers settling a bitter legal dispute



Former manager Braden Merrick and the rock band The Killers have dismissed their breach of contract and other pending claims upon reaching a confidential settlement of all disputes with each other.

A spokesperson for The Killers stated: "The Killers are pleased that the matter has been resolved and thank Braden Merrick for his contributions."
