Is their balls-out commitment.
I was listening to Little Steven singing about Los Desaparecidos, and I was thinking about the maleness of the song, and the whole album, really, and I got to thinking of how U2's song about the same thing is about the women involved. Then I began thinking of the clip of U2 performing Mothers of the Diappeared in Chile, and Bono commenting on how their security in Chile suddenly vanished after they performed that song that night. That took balls to do that. They knew going in that it would cause major problems, but they did it not only in spite of the trouble it would cause, but because of the way it would piss certain people off.
I fucking love that kind of commitment. Their willingness to disrupt the flow, to, what was it? "Fuck up the mainstream" wasn't it?
Anyway, that's what I was thinking about as I brushed my teeth this morning.
