Most iconic music video of Britpop, in my opinion: the architecture, the music, the optimism
“Lucky Man” was written by Richard Ashcroft for The Verve’s 1997 album Urban Hymns. Released on 24 November 1997 as the album’s third single, it reached No. 7 on the UK Singles Chart and No. 16 on Billboard’s Modern Rock Tracks chart.
The UK video, directed by Andy Baybutt, was filmed at Thames Reach in Hammersmith, with Ashcroft on acoustic guitar and the band ending up on the roof. A separate US version was shot in New York and on a mountaintop. Bono later named “Lucky Man” as one of six songs from 1986 to 2006 that he wished he had written.
Surely one of the most quotable movies of all time ❤️
Weird what time does. I feel like I watched the 9/11 attacks on the news in the early evening Melbourne time, but it was almost 11pm when the first plane hit. I swear watched the south tower fall live, but it was close to midnight here.

In his book, O.J. Simpson says that he would have taken a bullet or stood in front of a train for Nicole.
Man, I'm gonna tell ya, that is some bad luck. When the one guy who would have died for you, kills you.
That's probably... you don't get worse luck than that.
What do Dolly Parton & Alastair Clarkson have in common?
