My Husband the U2 Fanatic

My husband has been a huge U2 fanatic ever since he was a teenager. I'd say he has owned every U2 album made available to the public at one point of time or another, and he has almost all of U2's songs memorized. He wears U2 t-shirts almost every day to work, and he's always going to u2.com to check up on band updates. He has a membership online as well, and gets discounts for various purchases, including concert tickets for when U2 plays in Salt Lake.


Needless to say, Brad has been ecstatic over U2's newest album, "No Line on the Horizon." As soon as they released the songs online, Brad has been listening to them over and over again and memorizing the lyrics. I've been listening to the new songs, too, of course. I'm not nearly as big of a U2 fan as Brad is, but I have learned to appreciate U2, and I do have my own favorite songs from the band. I've learned that many of U2's songs grow on you over time. My favorites are "Where the Streets Have No Name," "City of Blinding Lights," "Sometimes You Can't Make it on Your Own," "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," and their newest song, "Magnificent."


Brad keeps me entertained by his obsessive interest in U2. Sometimes he makes me laugh and I have to tease him about it. Overall, I think it's great that has something he's so interested in. He's obsessed with U2 the same way I'm nuts over animals (and babies, right now). We learn a lot of new things together by being interested in different things. I have come to love and appreciate U2 since we've been married, and he's come to enjoy animals and nature as well. It's all good!
