New Music: U2

There was a time when I would wait in a cold rain all night to buy the new Achtung Baby. There was a time when I aspired to have a mullet as cool as Bono's Live at Red Rocks model. Now, I'm listening to the new U2 record streaming on the internet. I'm on track 2 and it's sounding a bit like All That You Can't Leave Behind so far. That's a good thing.

So many of my old favorites are busted up (the Replacements, Husker Du) or pale shadows of themselves (R.E.M.) It's good to hear new U2 again. I feel like I'm 14, except I have a better haircut.
