Hi AtomicBono !! i totaly agree with you!! I have the same experiences at school... the other day the art teacher let me listen to War on the cd player, only to get the other students asking "when is it over?", "can i play my cd?" or, most hateful, "the music u listen to sucks", half joking, half serously...
It really annoys me that everyone judges U2 without even knowing a tenth of what they do as musicians, and as ppl too, they might thinkit is an old band, or band old ppl like but it is not so, it is just good music, and that's all that matters!! And what about The Rolling Stones, LEd Zeppelin?? Everyone seems to liek those, although they don't even know what they play, just becasue they are "COOL"
feck with what's cool! I have my tastes and i like some cool things, but most are not even close to being cool, adn if U2 isn't cool then gr8
, i love them anyway
I have one, just ONE friend in my school who every now and again likes to listen to U2 with me in my discman, but still, shemocks about the songs or suddenly starts talking to sum1 else or sings another song to the one she's listening!!!
not U2 son, in fact.. so figure out!!! She was teh one who lent me some U2 cds cause her dad has some, and when she lent me Pop, she said "i don't like this one too much cause, well, read the title"... i don't understand... pop may not be good in general, yeah Britney Spears... but pop is a gr8 genre and just because rock is cooler no one in my class seems to like it!!
I mean, u got to get the message in the songs, even the message in the album title, to judge the music, not just read the title or listen to the album a couple of times...
Anyway, I luv U2, so I don't care, altho it would be nice to have sum1 "hangin' round this neighbourhood" and having my age too who can appreciate how gr8 they r!!
