Maybe you guys will all think I'm weird but I actually kind of enjoy the waiting... I mean, sure, I'm super excited about that album and am looking forward to Nov. 23rd, but I also think this is just such a great time to be a fan.
The expectation in itself feels good, and the fact that we are waiting so eagerly for that album just makes the whole thing a totally different experience. Usually, getting a new CD is just like doing anything else, but for us getting a new U2 album is like getting to know a whole bunch of new friends... You know this CD will become a part of your life, no matter what.
I remember during the Elevation shows, I used to really enjoy those last few minutes before the show would start, when they were playing "All You Need Is Love " and all those songs. Because I knew what was coming, and I knew it was so good...
Also, let's face it, Blue Crack happens to have like a 'multiplier' effect for any U2-related anticipation!
So maybe we should just live in the present and enjoy the excitement, the album will come sooner than we think...
