The Moment I was Hooked VII

- by Angely22 | Angely22@aol.com

I remember the 1st. time I heard U2, I was like 9 or 10 yrs. old & the radio
station was playing "With or Without You". I just totally fell in love
with them & the song. I will always LOVE U2, coz they are just excellent to my
opinion & they have shown us that they have grown in their music throughout
the years.
There is not a day that I don't listen 2 U2 and I will never ever get tired
of them. I also remember owning my 1st. U2 cd which was The Best of U2, all
I could think of was getting home & playing With or Without You. When I
heard it, this might sound lame but it made me cry. I just love the way Bono
sings it, is like you can feel his pain and it just touches me. I try to
collect as many things as I can from U2, like I have 3 albums, 5 0r 6
singles, 2 videos,
the complete U2 lyric book & a calendar. I can't wait to get their new album
& also to see U2 in a concert, coz it will be my first time. It would be like an
ultimate wish for me to see them in a concert, especially Bono. I think he is so
handsome.
