Annie Lennox became a household name in the 80s with her hits as half of Eurythmics -- including “Sweet Dreams” and “Here Comes the Rain Again.” Her new solo album is called Songs of Mass Destruction and on its cover, Lennox rises from a battlefield, like some sort of revolutionary. Kurt asks her what inspired the record’s imagery, and about the darkness that has haunted her music for years.

Just to mention that the very simple synthesized bass line in Sweet Dreams was (consciously or unconsciously) lifted from Rachmaninoff. It is, in fact, Prelude in C# Minor - The Bells of Moscow.
Not a complaint. Just a note.
