Though only a basic U2 fan, my wife now knows all the lyrics.
When we first met, I too was a "basic"/"average" fan. I liked whatever U2 they played on the radio, and I owned JT & AB. In recent years, however, I've become one of those crazy super-fans, living & breathing U2 (with some time for a few new bands, too), listening to them all the time, and acquiring as much U2 stuff as I can. I pretty much blindsided my wife! Luckily, this change occurred before we got married three months ago--and she still went through with the wedding!
With some sort of U2 playing in the radio, computer, iPod, or on DVD at all times, she is now a U2 convert by osmosis! Even when there's no music playing, I'll hear her singing to herself in the other room: "Freedom has a scent, like the top of a newborn baby's head..." or "One man comes in the name of love..." or "I'm not sleeeeeping, oh no."
This just makes me so happy, I thought I'd post about it.
Anyone else have tales of 'conversion by osmosis?'
