U2 has created some very good music since AB -- very good. Maybe not groundbreaking, but very good.

Rembrandt painted how many self-portraits, all dark and light?
Music doesn't have to be groundbreaking to be good. Nobody is saying otherwise.

We'll have to agree to disagree about U2 creating good music since Unforgettable Fire, let alone Achtung Baby.

My backend weighs more than 38 pounds, I can assure you.

Billy Joel and Elton John were in concert together in Tulsa and I really wished I could go. I can't stand Elton, but he's one of those artists that you wouldn't mind saying you've seen. And I love Billy Joel.

U2, they're coming to Memorial Stadium next October. I would love to see them, I don't care what Mike says. If he still hasn't found what he's looking for, that's hardly my problem! heh.
