You guys know how this blog is supposed to remind us of other things we’ve either read or seen, and how it’s supposed to weave within itself while also branching off? Well here’s a song by a fairly well known band which is relevant to our blog. It is called “Boy Falls From the Sky” and it’s by the Irish rock band U2. They recently performed this song at a concert in Portugal. The title alone doesn’t reveal its connection to “The Arts in NYC” so I suggest you all listen to it and try to figure it out.
The answer will be in a comment to this post.

It is one of the tracks for the upcoming Spider-Man Broadway musical “Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark”.
Great reference to my blog post from September 13th!
Interesting that U2 intersects with an upcoming Broadway show. Of course, Rock and Roll has been part of the “Broadway scene” for a long time, dating back to the 1970’s (Jesus Christ Superstar, Hair, Joseph and his Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Godspell, Grease, Tommy,) and more recently with American Idiot, Jersey Boys, Mama Mia, and Rock of Ages. Maybe U2 wants their own musical?
