I have been a fan since 1981.
I have been to every concert tour since War.
Except this one.
I count myself extremely lucky because of this.
U2 has touched my heart more than any other band, and has been a part of my life for 28 years.
I sit here listening to Achtung Baby in tears, because it is so beautiful and Bono is such an insightful poet, reminiscent of the Druid Bards who are his long past ancestors, and I wonder is some of that magic still living in his blood.
I know it is.
I am sad that as hard as I work, that I simply cannot afford to go.
To miss Bono, U2 my comfort in times most dire.
Sorry guys, this time the economy is too bad.

I don't think this has been posted here before. My apologies if it's a duplicate.

From horror-mall.com:

Creativity is something like magic. One form might feed the other, providing inspiration, sparking ideas, fueling the creative juices. For the authors contained within this unique anthology, the source of inspiration was the music of Bruce Springsteen. Themes, lines, song titles . . . whatever it took to draw these stories into life.

So many of Springsteen's songs bring you close to the edge of a darkness where uncertainty reigns - a darkness not just on the edge of town but of our hearts and minds . . . the darkness between child and adulthood, perhaps; or between courage and fear; marriage and divorce; even confidence and self-doubt. These nineteen authors nudge us closer to an answer . . . and let us see what really is stirring out there in the shadows.

U2 are going to perform for the first time at Glastonbury festival! This is one of the of th most awesome things in the world. (: I wish I could go there but I've a feeling that wouldn't happen. For one, the festival is already sold out. (:

But if anyone is planning on going, have a great fun! Glastonbury is one of the best places in the world, and seeing U2 there will be legen-wait for it-dary. (:
