Fellow Secret Square Tye got us free floor tickets to Friday night's U2 show at Madison Square Garden. The show was... pretty cool. Good light show and Edge is a genuinely fun guitarist to watch. The crowd, on the other hand, was a complete mess. I've never seen so many white people in one place. Lots of thick necks, baseball hats, vapid girlfriends, and (this is the saddest part) U2 shirts. Like, no way, dude... you like U2??? Me too!! Let's hug!! It was "that guy" times 25,000. When the twit next to me tried to start a "Let's Go Yankees" chant, it was time to go. And Bono's whole rocker-with-a-cause schtick needs to go back in the closet with his leather vest and cowboy hat. His chants and speeches and constant, moronic pandering to "New York City!!" were embarassing.
So, basically, it was exactly what you would imagine a U2 concert to be like. Like, picture a U2 show in your head... okay! Now you've seen U2 in concert. And you saved $60. Let's hug.
