On this day in 1988 George Harrison was at #1 with this cover of an old James Ray song.

“It's gonna take time
A whole lot of precious time
It's gonna take patience and time”

#BrandonFlowers says the vault is deep.

We talked about #TheKillers’ greatest hits, writing small-town epics like Pressure Machine, his changing relationship with religion, and how a second musical awakening led him to Springsteen, Petty, and a surprise Kenny Rogers deep dive with #EddieVedder.

Tonight on WFPK at 6p: #BrandonFlowers of #TheKillers joins the show to talk neon dreams, desert sins, and why we’re all still Mr. Brightside.

Also: Neil Young’s truth, Queen’s theatrics, Femmes freak-outs, Cure gloom, Air’s chill, and new BadBadNotGood doing very very good things.

I know that there are lots of #TheKillers fans (I don’t get why “Mr. Brightside” became a huge thing in American football games though), but the solo music of lead vocalist #BrandonFlowers is also excellent.

One of my favorite songs of his is the debut single “Crossfire” from 2010 which demonstrates his songwriting talent and strong vocals. It also helps a lot that the official music video features Charlize Theron. 😄

On this day in 1988, George Harrison found himself on top of the charts again with his catchy cover of a James Ray song from 1962.

“And this time I know it's for real
The feelings that I feel
I know if I put my mind to it
I know that I really can do it”
