I've just been writing about this song in my memoirs. "One Tree Hill" was written for Greg Carroll, Bono's personal roadie, who was tragically killed in an accident in Dublin. He was back in New Zealand 6 months before his death, and spent an afternoon among friends at my home on Takapuna Beach. His death made that gathering even more special.
Steve Winwood is one of the greats. He wrote amazing songs at the age of 16 in The Spencer Davis Group. Then came Blind Faith, before Traffic. And he continues to produce wonderful music, to this day.
Karl Wallinger is one very talented musician/songwriter, and fans are so fortunate that he's made a complete recovery from a brain aneurysm that had him out of action for 5 years.
If you don't like something you hear on this incredibly eclectic radio station, YOU have the power. Listen to some other station. It's that easy.
