How, can you "get" anything when your 9 years old? seriously.

New Years Day on the radio is when U2 caught my attention. Then Sunday Bloody Sunday from Red Rocks on MTV was when I became a fan.
I knew they were my absolute favorite band though when Joshua Tree was released and I heard Streets for the first time. That officially sealed the deal for me as a big fan (Plus I got to see them live for the first 7 months later, if there was any doubt prior to that, there was none after).

If I had to choose one other moment that sealed the deal for me it would probably be one Friday night a few weeks after buying ATYCLB. I had the house to myself and had hired out the Sydney ZOOTV video. I was watching it through the stereo with the volume WAY up, and all of a sudden Running to Stand Still segued into Streets... the red light, the intro notes echoing throughout my lounge room... this was the first time I ever got goosebumps listening to Streets (or probably any song for that matter). From this point, there was no turning back.
