 Hey Wirelings,
> I'm new to Wire and I was going through some of the posts and felt the
> need to share some of my opinions on U2. First of all, "Mysterious
> Ways" was the song that hooked me. I heard it on the radio one day when
> it was first released as a single and noticed how incredibly funky it
> was. I was so amazed to hear that it was by U2!!!! And I've fallen in
> love with every song by them after that.
> Second, for all those people who would think that Bono could even
> think of taking drugs has never been around me. Some of us out there
> are just naturally crazy and don't need drugs or alcohol to trigger it.
> I'm convinced that Bono is such a person. HE'S JUST NATURALLY CRAZY.
> Finally, may I just say that in my travels, at least around the
> states, U2 fans in general are pretty damn cool. You can strike up a
> conversation with any u2 fan and make a friend for life. The one
> complaint I have is for all those people who complained about the album
> "Pop" and Popmart. I love the direction U2 is going in. I love the
> fact that you can't predict what they are going to do next. And Popmart
> totally blew my mind. My muscles ached so bad by the end of the concert
> from dancing so hard. I feel that U2 are one of the few bands out there
> who still treat music as an art form and not a way to get rich quick.
> As long as they keep going in the direction they are going, I'll be a
> happy camper.
> Thank you for letting me rant and for staying with me through this
> whole post. Just to plug myself, I wrote a story to the song "Stay
> (Faraway, So Close)". Please read it and tell me what you think. I
