The cast-offs that didn't make the record but appeared as B-Sides on the hit singles were mostly freaking fantastic ... one of them, Sweetest Thing, even got a video, and has come to be one of their most beloved songs ... legend has it Bono forgot Ali's birthday during making TJT, so he wrote this for her in apology ... and made this vid ... I say it was a pretty good recovery ...
