Does anyone know anything about this documentary?

Well I did some searches and it seems like it's a 1-hour TV special that aired on Bravo in the mid-90s.

Bravo Profiles
Shamrock & Roll looks at Irish
music; includes interviews with
SINEAD O^ÒCONNER, singer Bono of U2,
Van Morrison, Barry Devlin of
Horslips and SHANE MacGOWEN of the Pogues

I found a site that has a brief transcript of it.

What Others Have to Say About U2

Much of the imagery that Bono has chosen for his lyrics is quite Irish. He actually explains this himself in a documentary he took part in that is known in the U.S. as "Shamrock & Roll." The lyrics he quotes as his 'most Irish' are:

"The wind will crack in wintertime. This bomb-blast lightning waltz. See the sky the burning rain. She will die and live again. Tonight, we'll build a bridge across the sea and land." (I know these are out of order, but they are how Bono quoted them in the interview.)

It sounds *very* similar to that Out of Ireland DVD, I can't find any connection between them though.
