About eight and a half years ago my friend Tish, a bunch of people from our church and I got to go see U2 when they performed in Charlotte; on Sunday Brian and I and two of our dearest friends will be seeing them on Owen Field in Norman. I’ll grant you that I’m not as crazy about U2′s latest album as I was about “All That You Can’t Leave Behind” or “Atomic Bomb.” I also will grant you that I don’t expect this show to have the funky, psychedelic, DIY vibe of a Flaming Lips show, but dammit I’m excited. A bunch of college friends saw the show when it swung through North Carolina recently and they seem to still be regrowing their faces, so no matter what happens with the Shootout on Saturday, I know that come Sunday I’ll be in a happy place.
