Episode 513-U2-The Joshua Tree

This Week on America’s Podcast – we’re heading into the desert with the album that made U2 a household name: The Joshua Tree. Joining us for this sonic pilgrimage are Travis Perrotta and Andy Rodriguez to help decide—does this album “Bullet the Blue Sky” or make you want to “Exit” because you “Still Haven’t Found What You’re Looking For”? No spoilers—but Bono might be lurking in your conscience. Tracks of the Week: Jerry picks Giant’s “I’ll See You In My Dreams” – pure 80s power-ballad magic, Aqua Net sold separately. Andy throws down “Rock Forever” by Judas Priest – because some priests don’t preach, they shred. Mooger chills things out with “Don’t Dream It’s Over” by Crowded House – a song so smooth it should come with a hammock. Travis goes full Zappa with “My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama” – rock, rebellion, and a guitar with unresolved issues. And we wrap it all up with Marc’s pick: Sammy Hagar’s “Encore, Thank You, Goodnight” – because who doesn’t love a dramatic mic drop? Until next week, go where the streets have no name, be kind, and as always—be a good human. #AmericasPodcast #U2 #TheJoshuaTree #StillHaventFound #PodcastVibes #RockTalk #ZappaZone #CrowdedHouseFeels #JudasPriest #SammyHagar #EncoreThankYouGoodnight #BeAGoodHuman
