One Tree Still

Some of you guys crack me up.
I'm not a fan because I question if U2's best days are over? That's an interesting perspective.
Maybe I should counter with the notion that anyone who thinks ATYCLB is on-par with the U2 classics isn't a real fan because they don't really understand the weight and significance JT and AB had. Maybe they were still listening to their Alvin and Theodore Chipmunks cassette on their Playskool "My First Cassette Player" when I was a senior in high school getting blown away by JT and the U2 back catalogue. Would it be fair for me to say that?
I've been a fan since 1984 and when I am plugging a disc into my dashboard, I still reach for U2 before I reach for anything else. All that to say, I am a true fan and will continue to be a true fan.
My being a fan, or not, has no bearing on whether or not U2 is past their prime. If they are, they are.
To those of you who are so weary of my once-every-three-month question - I'm really sorry to "clog" up your message board with such a silly notion. Please forgive me.
Sheesh.
BTW - thanks to those of you who gave an honest, polite reply (regardless of your postion on the question). It's good to hear what people are thinking.
