I've just listened to Boy by U2. It came out in 1980 when I turned 15. Now I'm listening to XTRRMNTR in 2000 when it came out. I was in Catania, Sicily. I was 35/ The world had changed as it always does and so had I. I still like both albums but probably prefer Boy .
Both albums are political expressions of a different sort. I'm not sure I buy XTRRMNTR's righteous anger. It frequently feels like a trip to the dentists. It was the time of No Logo. Today is the day of the US Mid Terms. It is always an interesting time to be alive.
