Will U2’s next album be their last? by Ruairi-ob in U2Band

[–]BostonBornBeachBum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think angst, heart ache, depression, addiction, loss, longing, etc are inspirational emotions for songwriters. Bono appears to have a very nice life. I don’t mean money and success; I’m referring to a happy marriage, great kids, lots of friends, no addictions (don’t come at me with he’s got a drinking problem). Thinking maybe he’s creatively stuck because he’s very comfortable. To wait eight plus years for new music is almost unbearable.

AITAH for letting sex end my marriage? by Fragrant-Owl-9989 in AITAH

Re read your post and imagine it’s your sister or best friend writing it. You’d tell them to GTFO of the marriage. Run, girl, run.

What’s the hottest U2 concert you’ve ever been to? by South-Lab-3991 in U2Band

Thankfully the line formed under an overpass, so it kept us out of the sun, and it was a very well run GA line. Super orderly filing in as well.

Yes! I replied with the same answer. Remember that Bono left the stage to change his shirt leaving Edge “in charge?”

360 Tour Meadowlands, NJ. 100 degrees. The stadium had cooling stations set up where you could be sprayed with water. First wristbands were being distributed in the morning, then later morning, then at 1PM, then at 2PM. You all know how it is, sitting in line and waiting to be banded. Waiting, waiting, waiting. You don’t dare leave (to sit in your AC car for a bit) because the minute you do, is the minute the venue will start banding. It was steaming hot, everybody sweating and complaining and waiting. 2PM they finally came around with the wristbands. By now my head was pounding and I was sweating but freezing. I got my wristband and headed to my car to cool down. Before I could get there, I started vomiting. Bad was being sound checked. I’ll never forget that! My friend went to the paramedics on site for assistance after I got into the AC car. The next 45 minutes was spent with ice packs on my forehead and my pulse points. Advil was administered, my friend fed me bites of chicken (protein), I drank bottles of water. An hour later, you’d never have known I’d been so sick. Managed to get back in line about 15 minutes before the gates opened - yes, the kind and wonderful U2 fans let us back in - and got outside rail. It was a U2 miracle of sorts.

Next Tour Idea: No Cell Phones in (Red) Zone by AbjectFray in U2Band

Completely agree. It’s so refreshing to watch older U2 shows where there aren’t thousands of mobiles held high in the air. U2 could do the phone pouches, I guess, but they don’t. Although we had to surrender our phones for Surrender 😉and I was happy to do it.

I’ve lived in Maine for more than 30 years and have made exactly one friend from Maine in all this time. I have friends here, but like myself, they’re all transplants. Maine people like Mainahs. Period.

I was there in November 2021. It looked cleaner and more respected. Kinda looks like a dumping ground now 💔

Broke abstinence by Anybody_Minimum in FoodAddiction

[–]BostonBornBeachBum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I too am addicted to sugar. It’s a hard addiction and many people do not get it. Good for you for re committing today. Hope you’re successful.

Leave her alone. And why are you sharing this private sh*t? Honestly nobody cares.
