All I've got is a red guitar, three chords and the truth


'Tis a good time to be a U2 fan. The "U2 by U2" book, the Zoo TV DVD, the performance with Green Day in the Superdome, and we're only two months away from the Japan shows. I just finished reading "The Unforgetable Fire," a biography published in the late 80's. A little pontificatious at times, but so was U2 at the time. (BTW, "pontificatious" is a perfectly promulant word.) I also picked up a coffee table book called "U2 Show" at Barnes & Noble for $10 and read/looked at it on the flight back from Katie's wedding in SLC.

Now I just have to make sure I don't peak too early with regard to my U2 enthusiasm.
