It is no secret that Transmission has always been a fan and supporter of the early U2 material, and this Thursday just happens to be The Edge's birthday. So of course we're going to celebrate one of music's best known and influential guitarist's big day. And knowing me, we might not even make it out of the 80s. I invite you to tune in and find out.
