It's 322 am and I have been awake since 230 am so that I could rush to the computer to find out if U2 was coming to town on the new tour, and they announced the new tour details at 8 am Dublin time....so I am gonna PAY for waking up so early.
Turns out u2 are NOT coming to SLC in 2009.
I dunno how I feel about this. My first reaction is disappointment, but my feelings of excitement for the band have been waning for a little while as it just seems like the fans are becoming more and more "trekkie" like and it's not as fun as it used to be to be a fan. Could be my age, too.
THEN there's the fact they are doing stadiums only this year, and I really don't like stadium shows, even if they ARE playing a 360 degree stage.....seems like the intamacy is lost, and the sound, even as great as the u2 people do for sound, is never grand...you HEAR Bono talking, but can't really ever make out what the hell is says in those big shows..and you kinda see the band, but not really...then there's the people, wayyyyyyy too many people and "we" don't know how to behave in groups anymore due to cell phones and just poor manners.
So, as I just lost sleep to find out if my heroes of 20 plus years are coming to town, I also just found out that I should be honest about the things around me...I think going to the tour , if they DID play SLC would be more out of habit than actual need.
So, it's a blessing in disguise of sorts.
I am going back to bed.
