The Moment I was Hooked VIII

- by Verena Sambale| Weyoun21@t-online.de

It happened in 1996. I was at a student's
exchange in Ottawa, Canada and my exchange student told me I could listen to
some of her CDs while she was busy. I grabbed AB and first I didn't like it but
when it came to One I was absolutely amazed how great this song was and that it
was the kind of music I had longed for all my previous life! When I was at home
again (which is Germany) I bought AB and after that some other U2 CDs. I still
don't own all of them but I'm working on it! :)
I also have to say that I love BD. It's great and sounds promising as to what
expect for ATYCLB. I haven't listened to any mp3s because I don't want it but I
know it must be a great album.
Oh, one more thing, whenever I turn on VIVA, VIVA II and MTV, BD is being played
most of the time. The video is great....I'd better go now.
