I'm trying, I really am. I am forcing myself to listen to this album once a day, every day, no skips! (Okay, I keep skipping the latter half of EBW because it annoys the hell out of me by that point). I still don't get it. I am not looking for an "instant classic" or even anything that has a...

I have to agree that that sounded like a cheap shot. What I meant, though, was that I could well imagine the boys finishing it up, giving it a listen, and realizing it wasn't going to sell as well as a new U2 album should. By giving it away, they could avoid any comparisons on that score. I was...

I browsed back a few pages, didn't see one. I am wondering if I somehow got a joke copy of SOI, because I don't hear one original or even interesting tune on SOI. What gives? This will be the first U2 album I will not have in my collection in over 30 years of being a fan. No wonder they gave it...

... that I had posted in some very old threads. I was searching my name to find a very old post when I realized all my old picture links were broken. So here's the links to the photobucket albums, if anyone is interested: U2 magazine pics mid-1980's (NOTE: I no longer have the originals) U2...

nvm

Elvis Presley and America :P

Wish I knew what Karma gods I pissed off and how. But I never asked for pity. Feel bad for my friend who lost her first husband to suicide and was a reclusive shut-in who rarely left the house before meeting this new fellow. Yes, she's aware that he could be trying to exploit her to gain...

You know you're a redneck if your life sounds like a country song. Okay, here goes... (tl;dr - check the spoilers! The last one sums everything up!) One of my best friends has been married to a guy since last fall and has only spent 5 weeks with him, and only five of those days as a married...

I love this song.... guess I'm the wierd one... 10!
