I recently went to MetLife stadium to see the amazing Joshua Tree concert.
Most amazing things were:
1. Attending with my best friend from high school who lives a world away from me and I see maybe every two years.
2. Taking our daughters to experience a band (one of the few) that meant so much to us.
3. Seeing other parents of the same generation hang with their kids, sharing a passion together, and not trying to make excuses or explain themselves.
Most annoying was being surrounded by:
1. Those who'd been following U2 since Joshua Tree (as if that was the beginning of the band) and claiming their expertise by wearing the T **** to prove it.
2. 40-something men who bring their younger girlfriends, expecting them to like something they were passionate about 20-30 years ago.
3. The 100-lb. overweight loudmouth fan who has brought an entourage and has seen this concert in EVERY city and gives his friends the blow by blow... for ALL to hear.

Running to stand still

One of my favourite songs ever, beautiful lyrics about the place they grew up in, and the scourge of heroin.

I used to like U2 but haven't listened to them for ages.
