The Walls Came Down

Michael Been, Singer for The Call and Fave of Al Gore and Bono, Has Died
Remember The Call, the 1980s modern rock band with songs like "The Walls Came Down"? Michael Been, singer, songwriter and founding member of the Northern California group, has died. Among other claims to fame, his song "Let the Day Begin" was the anthem for Al Gore's 2000 presidential bid. Been (pronounced "bean") was 60.
Been died on Thursday of a heart attack at the Pukkelpop festival in Hasselt, Belgium, according to the L.A. Times. He was working as a sound engineer for Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, his son Robert's band.
One of my fave songs.  So in memory....
