This morning, I wasn’t up and ready by the time Good Morning Football came on; but when I turned it on, Will Selva was talking about U2!!! Their new album, “Songs of Experience” is coming out on Friday. It cut to Kay Adams and she told me (well, everyone watching) that Bono is going to be on the show on Friday! I get so excited! I tweeted them a bunch about this fact! It feels like my worlds are colliding on Friday! Football AND U2! It’s as if Friday’s show is just for me! At least that is the way I’m going to look at it!
It was really cool that every time before they broke for commercial, GMFB played U2 songs! I really dug that! So, as I was doing the dishes after dinner today, I put my U2 playlist on random on my phone. Of course I could sing along to EVERY song! I paused for a moment and then decided that I was going to choose which U2 songs I wanted to hear. I pulled up the best of 1990 to 2000 album. “Electrical Storm” This song reminds me of winter time and working at dfcu financial. It takes me a long time to do the dishes because it is warm as the hot water is running semi-close to my face because the sink is kind of high compared to me sitting in the wheelchair.
Next, it played some songs that reminded me of working at 7-Eleven just before I started working at dfcu financial. “Stay (far away, so close).” I decided my first year of college that U2 was my favorite band. That was the year they were named, “Band of the Year” from Rolling Stone magazine. (2000 – I’m old!) They are my favorite band!
One thing is for sure though, I don’t share them! I do not attribute guys I may be dating with any of their songs. That would mean the song would be ruined once we break up. It’s too risky so, there are some things I just don’t share and U2 is one of them! I’ve only been to one U2 concert and that was the Vertigo tour my first year teaching with a few other teachers and I took my brother. I remember I had a countdown to the concert on the corner of my whiteboard in the front of the classroom.
I incorporated a U2 song as much as I could when I was teaching. I played my student teaching kids at Fordson, “Kite”my last day with them. I am so excited for Friday! I hope I can contain myself and I will have to find a way to get that album! U2 is spattered all over this blog in the tunes section! I would put more links to my favorite songs but I got to catch Monday Night Football, the Ravens ARE playing the Lions Sunday…
