Variations on a theme...

Back in 1980, I was an adolescent and U2 sang about that age between boyhood and manhood. Perfect timing for me.

I liked them after October but they lost their divinity about the time I lost my virginity.

You stopped listening to U2 when you were in your 40s?

Still listen to Boy and October. I stopped listening obsessively after seeing them headlining for the first time in a stadium. It wasn't the same as the clubs and uni halls. That would be 1985. REM, Ramones, Spear of Destiny were on the same bill. Billy Bragg too but I was tripping elsewhere when he was playing. Fun times.
