It's been a long-held belief of mine that if you're a U2 fan, your political views tend to veer towards the left. But FYM has challenged this view considerably, and a thread on a major left-wing blog has now blown this assumption apart.
atrios.blogspot.com right now has a thread called "New U2" on its home page. The blogmaster, atrios, started it by commenting that he thinks "Vertigo" sounds like the Supremes "You Keep Me Hanging On." A few people have mentioned that they like U2, like me (who posted over there as librarydiane), but others have been going on about how they don't like U2. One person said the Pogues are the only good Irish band...in fact, judging by the comments there, the Pogues are pretty popular. Another brought up Henry Rollins. A couple of the comments have been downright vile, and would have gotten the thread closed at Interference. Several dislike the "uno, dos, tres...catorce"...oh, it goes onandonandON, and you here get the idea.
I'd love to see what you Interferencers think of this thread, if you get a chance to check it out...it's getting pretty lengthy.
As for me, I feel like everything I knew was wrong, nothing I believed was true. Yeah, I'm being overly dramatic, but I can't understand how anyone can dislike U2, and I've enjoyed reading this left-wing blog and...the fact that so many people there dislike this band that is so important to me makes me feel much less enthusiastic about that place.
But I'm still enthusiastic about Kerry/Edwards...!
