The Book

As you all know by now, I'm doing this book on U2 which involves having to listen to all the bootlegs of their last two tours. I'm sure if I asked for volunteers to listen to U2's entire Popmart tour, I'd attract a couple of loonies, but not many sane people. However, the listening bit has not been a trial so far. I never listened to the Popmart gigs much at the time of the tour. I detested a lot of the material back then (Really didn't see the merit of Do you feel loved, If God will send his angels, Last night on earth, Gone) and didn't want to hear the tunes except for a few, like "Miami". What a complete and utter mindfuck of a tune that was and still is. And I can tell you, I could listen to it a hundred times and still love it. Which is good, cause, yeah, that's what I'm doing.
