I love U2.
I love Bono's lyrics. I love Edge's guitar. I love Larry's drumming. I love Adam's basslines. Call me a sycophant, but I have yet to meet a U2 song that I could actively dislike.
I love seeing them live. I love seeing them on TV. I love watching them win awards. I love seeing Bono babble about whatever is on his heart. I love him making political statements that rile people up, whether it be gun control or hugging the American flag.
But most of all, I love the albums. I love Boy, October, War, UABRS, UF, JT, RH, AB, Zooropa, POP, and ATYCLB. I love this stack of discs that are the soundtrack to my life. I love the fact that no matter what anyone says or does, how many "sellouts" U2 is labelled to be, or how many "overpriced" shows they play, I have these little pieces of heaven and no one can take away what they mean to me.
I love that I can have a common bond to share with others from around the world. I love the way it can bring us all together. I love sitting alone in my car and being lost in a U2 song. I love singing it with 20,000 other fans...at high volume.
There's a lot to be happy for.
