ONE love, blood, life
I'm 20. I attend a university. Of the people I hang out with,
-one likes U2 enough to go to shows with me (he's my roommate)
-three like U2 somewhat (mostly JT)
Of people I don't know very well:
-one loves U2 but hates HTDAAB and said he wouldn't even bother with NLOTH
-one likes U2 and is a part of ONE
-one likes "old U2" (what does that even mean? 80's? 90's?)
-one said "I like U2" with no elaboration
um, yeah, that's about it. It might sound like a lot buuut... The majority of people I meet loooove Radiohead but dislike or detest U2, especially Bono. I remember in my Rock History class when we talked about U2 out of a class of 300 only a few people raised their hands when he asked if people liked U2, and when he asked what people thought of Bono the response was overwhelmingly negative. I mentioned Bono in a class today and everyone scoffed and started talking about what a douche he is.
So my question is ... where the fuck are all the U2 fans? They're one of the biggest bands in the world, they sell millions of albums and sell out stadiums, yet hardly anyone I encounter even tolerates them. Is it just where I am or do you guys have this experience as well? The only remotely diehard fan I know is my roommate, and that's only because I converted him long ago.
Also, might be obvious but, why does everyone hate Bono so much? Why is it hip to dislike someone who is making a difference in the world? Why are people such morons?
Mostly I just want to know if you know very many people you know like U2, and if so where do you live so I can move there. Thx.
