It's too strange
How your life's changed
You know nothing
About the people that you've touched...
-- Michael Hutchence ('Possibilities')

U2's Influence on us...
Jules and I realise that Bono wants to be no one's role model, but we don't give a shit. He - along with Edge, Larry, and Adam - are some of our biggest. We can't help that, and neither can he. Here's how they've affected us:

Julie - "When I was 13, the Beatles made me realize that music could make your life better... When I was 16, U2 made me realize that music could do more than make your life better - they made me realize that music could make you better; and that was important because being an egotistical high school student..., there is certainly room for improvement..."

Molee - "And I'm sure all of you have encountered that moment when you first felt their melodies seep into your skin and their lyrics resonate through your skull, urging you to understand that whatever the hell it is you're feeling, you're not alone in feeling it... But U2's personal impact on me goes far beyond letting the music conquer my mind and my emotions..."

Bono's Dissidence: Rising Up and Rebelling Against His Own Indifference -- "Many musicians are dissident, but few use their dissidence to evoke change. Bono, the lead singer of the Irish rock band U2, is one of those few. During the twenty-two years U2 has claimed its existence, he has used both his music and his fame to 'rebel against the idea that the world is the way the world is and there’s not a damned thing I can do about it.' " Read on to find out how he's changed the world...

The Best Day of My Life -- "Molee, Beth, and I freaked out. We screamed, hit each other, and jumped up and down like we had just met rock stars. We did meet rock stars!.."

The Best Day of My Life : Part II -- "What do you get when you combine a frostbitten bum and a censoured penis with arthritic fingers cramped from one week of non-stop drawing? -- The best damn night of our lives..."

Soul Mates? -- Here are some (tongue-in-cheek) reasons why Adam and I could be great lovers/life partners... or at least best mates.

Larry and Elvis - The Kings of Rock 'N' Roll -- To know about Larry Mullen is to know that he worships Elvis Presley. Here I've compiled some similarities between these two of my heroes...

10 Reasons Why I Love Morleigh -- Jealous that Morleigh's captured Edge's heart?? After you read this, you'll have even more reasons to be envious of her.

REVIEWS
Obviously, we're not music journalists who are actually qualified to review U2.
But we're opinionated people, so if you wonder what we have to say about their music, check these out.

All That You Can't Leave Behind -- This is just a review I wrote a while ago after the album had just came out. It was for my high school's newspaper.

Our Picks -- Here we pick the best and worst songs from each album from an objective musical standpoint and then our own personal favorites.
