If you’re reading this blog you probably are well aware that I am a huge U2 fan and have been since the second grade.  Since high school I have made it a ritual to purchase the new CD on the day of its release.  It started out that way because when I was a kid that was the only way you would be able to hear it.  Even though I had a leaked copy I set off into the snow and ice wearing my long underwear to make it to Best Buy.  I had to wait for a bus, ride it with scary people and make it thru eating dinner at Chick-fil-a.  It was obviously well worth the journey.

It was the when I returned that things got depressing.  I have been coping with the fact that U2 will be on Good Morning America Friday, and then reminded they’ll be on Lettermen all this week two blocks from my apt.  I then was watching Acess Hollywood, (I was in a waiting area in a lobby not my choice) and there they were, 2 blocks away naming 53rd st a blcok south of my st 54th “U2 Way.”  Needless to say I won’t be at all shocked to find out they sublet the apt next door to me this week since I’m away.

1.5 blocks from my door

So that is my U2 story for now and if you’re in my neighborhood make sure you say hello, because you’ll probably run into them.  Most of all enjoy the new album I like it quite a bit.  It isn’t my favorite but you can always count on U2 to keep there music moving forward.  The things I do for your freedom… your welcome.
