i'm about 90% confident that i don't have any posts in that thread and i'm very thankful that there (probably) isn't any gushing hot takes about NLOTH that could be used to ruin me should i become a public figure in the future.

Senator, could you explain why little old ladies crossing the street gives you an erection?

I am absolutely not looking at that thread to find out what dumb thing I said.
I remember being underwhelmed by Boots on first listen, but this was not long after I'd first really gone cool on U2 and I really, really didn't want to, so I summoned all the enthusiasm I could possibly find for the new stuff. Funnily enough it didn't last. Quote:

I remember you got very mad at me for not being 100% in love with it on first listen, lol.
Alright, personal story time. Today is the day I bought NLOTH 10 years ago. I know this because it's the day Travis and I started dating 10 years ago. We talked on the phone for the first time while I drove to Best Buy and picked it up. I remember that was back when I used to have to park by the football stadium at TCU and it took about 15 minutes to get from campus to my car, and I just very vivedly remember that walk while we were talking about the album. So... Yeah, there's that.

If they had any balls they'd have played Fez and Cedars.
Even Better Than the Real Thing was the best 360 opener. |

What a shame to reflect that he would rather have woken up in Bono's bed

As much grief as I gone NLOTH for its shortcomings, it holds a high sentimental value for me. My daughter Sonya was born a couple months after the album came out. For those who are parents, you know all too well that sometimes you gotta do anything you can to get your newborn to fall asleep. Well, it just so happens that playing this album at a reasonable volume was the only thing that worked for a couple weeks. In fact, to this day, she still claims that U2 puts her to sleep.
Been an amazing 10 years with this little girl though. |

My son's favorite song is American Soul, which shows that I have already failed as a parent.

Or maybe we all thought bono was dumb because he wanted to be so relevant but really he planted the seed in the next generation
