War Child
What are some incomprehensible reactions that you have heard from friends or family regarding your absolute favourite U2 songs?
Over the weekend I was listening to Zooropa in the car. While Stay (Faraway, So Close!) was playing, my wife goes "uh.. do you like this song?..." and I say "yes it's my number 1 or number 2 favourite of theirs" and she says "Really?? It is soooooo boring." Then she went on to say that she is not of fan of Bono's slow yearning vocal thing he does in many of their songs.
Then I thought about it a bit and realized that albums or songs that you hold dear for years and years just may not seem that special to others. With Zooropa I think you had to have been there at the time in 1993 when the music videos started showing up on MTV. I grew up watching those videos for Stay, Numb and Lemon. I could never find those songs boring, ever! But it's so different for different people.
