U2 Were Put On Earth For....

[Utoo]

If U2 were put on earth for ONE reason only----one song, one album, one cause, one concert----what would it be?

 

[tuwie]

Streets - Joshua Tree - either to save the world from crap music, or their campaign for Africa, probably - um...this one is tough because i've never been to a live show

 

[MrBrau1]

to write songs.

 

[Layton]

U2 was put on Earth to artistically carve out an emotional territory that had previously been unexplored in the art/music world.

I'd define that territory, but I'm too lazy and tired after working all day.

 

[Utoo]

doesn't have to be one of each , but good choices.

 

[namkcuR]

To touch, and sometimes save, lives with their music.

That was a nice video. I've never seen that before. Thanks.

Joy

Amen!!!

 

[sue4u2]

To simply make me, one person, happy..therefore I pay it forward..
Then that is paid forward and it goes on and on..
Still a long way to go, but after all, it'a an ongoing process..

I mean why else? oh yeah to

[BluRmGrl]

(Slightly altering Ben Franklin's quote here):

To prove God loves us and wants us to be happy.

 

[miss becky]

To show the world how music should be written/played.

That was amazing...I hope you don't mind if I sort of snatch that..I wouldn't say it was mine, but if I were to walk up to a friend and say that...I hope you don't mind.

 

[Axver]

One Tree Hill, 26 December 1989.

Even if that was all they ever did, they would go down as the greatest band ever.

It hasn't happened yet. It's about the future.

Wow. That was beautiful. Thanks for sharing it!

The people who're crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do

 

[Achtung_Bebe]

U2 were put on Earth to impassion. Their music arouses feelings of love, joy, hatred, anger, loneliness, unity... I believe that I would be far less motivated if not for U2.

U2 blurs the line between entertainment and sustainment.

 

[Carek1230]

U2 blurs the line between entertainment and sustainment.

That is a beautiful statement


And the video was awesome!

 

[JCOSTER]

U2 were put on this earth to show the world what passion, feelings and committment is all about.

To make children and to let them become the new U2................

Bono's son as drummer
Larry's son as singer
Edge's son as bass player
Adam's (future) son as guitar player


In 15 years I think we gonna hear of the New Hype and then of U something..........
It would be cool................
