Swankster Fridays: You, Too, Can Rock
This week we have a special edition of Merry Swankster's Friday music picks. Fresh off a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction and about to embark on yet another extremely sold out tour, U2 is the current title-holder of "The world's biggest band." They are this generation's Rolling Stones.
