for those of you following this thread here’s a paraphrased re-cap of the exchange between myself and geoff:
lopez said: “U2 isn’t anything musically special when seperated from their politics”
geoff responded: “yes, but what about their politics?”
i believe the phrase was “wide of the mark”.
i think space probably came the closest, earlier in the thread, to explaining why i should give a crap about this band based solely on their music. let’s hear more of that because i’ve gotta say, when i’m listening to the radio and hear that really long intro to “where the streets have no name” or the “funky” intro for “mysterious ways” i can’t get to that tuner knob fast enough because i know a great big shot of musical mediocrity is headed my way.
