Hello From Pennsylvania

[bteribery]

Can you believe this, I am a 35 year old guy posting on a message about his favorite band. I almost feel like a kid when days like album drops approach. By the way my name is Bob and have been a U2 fan for more than 20 years. Not unique I know but I still get goose bumps when I hear new music from them. Its great because I now have my 9 and 8 yr old daughters listening and singing along with me in the car and stuff. Sure beats Brittney or Backstreet Boys believe me.Anyway I feel like I am rambling mainly due the effects of listening to the songs over and over again posted on the main web site. Just wanted to say hello to you all. Look forward to conversing with ya in the future.

I know what you mean. I'm a 33-year old guy and I think my wife thinks I'm silly for spending so much time on the internet lately looking for U2 news. I've heard the new album on U2.com and it's awesome. I can't wait to see them live. Good call having your kids listen to U2 instead of the "manufactured" music that's out there now...my little nieces are also among the newest of U2 fans.

Heya, Bob!

Hi Bob and welcome. I have been a long time U2 fan also, since their War album came out. Where in PA, do you live? I live 50 north of Pittsburgh.

Oops. I see that you live in Erie, which is about a 3 hour drive from where I live. Indiana is the name of the town I live in, where IUP is.

Hi...I'm living in Pittsburgh and this is my first post here. The comments of bteribery and capetown172 resonate well with me. I have often tried to explain to myself why I like U2 so much, but I really don't know. I don't know if it's their sound, their story, their self-respect, the subject matter of their songs, the points I've been at in life when new albums get released, memories that are conjured when I hear them play...perhaps it's just a combination of all of the above. Nevertheless, I still like hearing new U2 stuff.
