The Music Dissectors Episode 7 – Ken Lee / The Unforgettable Fire

U2 are one of the best known bands in the world, and love them or hate them, they’ve had a huge impact on rock music over the past 41 years. We talk with US photographer and musician Ken Lee on U2’s 1984 release, The Unforgettable Fire. There also happens to be a great anecdote about meeting Jimmy Page!
