Glad I ran across this remembrance video, with the anniversary of Been's death coming up next month. The world is lacking, without him. I've had an earworm for The Call for months now - a very enjoyable earworm to have. I'd kind of lost them for awhile and the rediscovery has been very gratifying! The Call's one of those timeless bands I could listen to every day (and it seems that recently I've been doing just that).

Thanks for doing this! I knew Mike and Tom and they were and are some of the most inspiring and genuine musicians and people I ever encountered. I will always listen and never forget their legacy.

Great piece. The Call is still one of favorite bands unfortunately Michael Been is no longer with us but his music will live forever. I met Michael a few times throughout the years, what a class man and soul..Great Guy and God Bless You Michael..

We had Modern Romans because of the success of "When the Walls Came Down" from the showing on MTV. WE used to crank that song because of its hard lyrical reference to the U.S. and soviet movement. At @ 3:16 Michael used to adlib and yell "WOOF-WOOF", At that point we would turn the radio down and yell "Woof-Woof" along with Michael and then turn the radio back up. Great memories. Now I have "The Call The Mercury Years. R.I.P. Michael and thanks for the tribute guys !
