I think anyone has to do is be a long time fan of U2 to know that they feel Boston is a special place for them. Over and over again they talk about Boston being their home away from home. They broke out in Boston and Boston has supported them ever since.
Oh, and on the sports note, no one I know wrote off the Sox down 0-3. That's the difference - Boston has the passionate fans and NYC has, well, I don't want to go there. Now I am sure the NYC fans expected a sweep - how did they know they would go down as the biggest chokers in the history of sports!!!
Oh, and don't even talk football. You can't.
U2 broke in Boston???
What a joke!!!
I'll ask again, where are all the songs about Boston?
Where are the songs written about the AUDIENCE in Boston?
They've written at least 3 songs directly about NY and one each on the last 2 albums.
Clayton has said their shows in MSG last tour were the most special they played along with the ones in Bosnia.Want to read the direct quote go to atu2.com and look it up where he says it was the crowd taking THEM on a journey, not them taking the crowd.Show me where anything close to that was said about a Boston crowd.
What does that say to you big guy?
All you guys keep convienently trying to ignore these questions.I wonder how come.
Again, how can you compare the enegry of NYC to Boston?
Boston is a little town compared to NYC.It's not even close.Boston hot spots are dingy sh1thole bars that throw you out at 1am for Christ;s sake!!!What energy that provides.
As for the sports stuff, Redsox fans were the biggest losers in ALL of sports...ALL OF SPORTS, and you guys actually loved having the loser tag and PLEASE don't try and tell me people in Boston weren't jumping ship...Did you see all the signs, read all the newspaper articles....it's nothing short of a joke to even try and say otherwise.
As for the Yanks, the WINNINGEST franchise in ALL of sports, what can you say.They have tortured Bostonians and we've loved every minute of it.
Most passionate fans in all of sports???You really are a comedian.
Why is it all you see at the Fleet center is a sea of Gold for both Celtic and Bruin games???
Real "Passion involed in supporting them!!!
Bottom line is Boston isn't in NY's league and U2's songs and actions indicate how they feel as well.
