About 25 years ago I attended a Tears for Fears concert in Provo, Utah. Between sets, Roland Orzabal said while he had toured and had seen much of the US he never quite understood the line in America the Beautiful about "purple mountains majesty". How could mountains be purple? It wasn't until that evening when he stepped out of his tour bus and saw the majestic Wasatch mountains bathed in a purple hue. I never looked at our impressive mountains the same after that. It gave me a new appreciation for something I had, up until that point, taken for granted. Thanks Roland!
