Woo-woo! I got it!
I've never gone on any music swapping sites (a la Napster). I've had neither the time nor the inclination - okay, time. Wayne was saying how much he was enjoying downloading music on our T1 line, and burning discs on our nice new computers. I said I never had, and he told me to come take a look. He asked what I wanted him to search for on WinMX. I said "A Celebration", by U2. There were three people who had it. I've been wanting that song for years. It is a B-side to an early single (I forget now, what the A-side was). UK only. It has never been released on CD. I've got twenty seconds of the video buried somewhere on a tape. I imagine the single sells for hundreds of pounds. But now I have the song!
