Home town boys make good

Key take-aways from U2 concert at Croke park on Monday:

1. No one can rock patchwork jacket like Bono.
2. Not overly familiar with U2 albums since Joshua Tree. Didn't matter in least. Great show.
   
3. U2 look old. Lent air of solidarity to show for me.
4. Never been to show, big/small, stadium/club, where odor of cannabis didn't waft over as lights went down. Except in Dublin.
5. Sunday Bloody Sunday played live has power to make me feel like teenager.
6. Ambivalence about civilian Bono - interesting, preachy, boring, earnest. Yet on stage he turns into world's sexist man. At least for two hours.
7. Being world's biggest rock n roll band probably a fun job, must look into new career path.
8. Used to have big crush on Larry, now he looks as though suffering from hemorrhoids.
