The Train from Nice to Monte Carlo
August 2005
Part II
I stumbled on the breathtaking views during the Young Mattopia Jones Chronicles era. I was a fresh-faced kid out of college with a simple idiot-box camera. Back then I dreamed of returning to Nice with some kind of video camera to record the ride and bring it home to relive over and over. It is to my extreme delight these clips are now online. The fact they came about as part of the Vertigo tour is simply one more reason to smile. As Bono says, "Dream out loud. In high volume!"
