I'm going of the subject here but listen up boys. I can hear your influences in your early works. These influences have helped to shape you and I hope changed you for the better. I'm talking about as a band and as four individuals. I must tell how how you influence me as a middle aged man the wrong side of fourty. You get me through. That's it you help get me through it and that's enough it's all I want and it's all I need. Thank you for sticking around and keep on rocking in the not so free world!

Looks like a good read. If anyone ever wants to see the best ever Rock-umentary, and i mean the VERY BEST, then try get a copy of "End of the Century-The Story of The Ramones". It is fascinating!! You will be glued from start to finish. It has been on BBC4 (UK) a couple of times over the past few years. It is the ultimate film/docu made about any band. These guys were sheer RockNroll, and it is a 100% warts and all insight into each individual member. Made back in 2003. If you ever have to do a 'Thesis' on being in a band... this film will get you your Masters Degree! Its a total pleasure to watch, and you will watch it again and again. Treat yourselves! On another note, I think it would be great if U2 played some intimate shows in different Dublin venues, like The Olympia or even in Bruxxelles Pub. Phil Lynotts statue is erected outside this pub (it is always courteous to say "Goodnight Phil" to him when you leave this great legendary Music pub, which has never changed, and never will) It's a little tradition for Dubliners who hang out there. I think it would be nice to rediscover some old venues played back in the 70's. although some are no longer with us, but to reignite the Spirit of that time, in line with the theme of the album, if that makes any sense. U2 in the Olympia? Nice thought, but even U2 wouldn't be able to get tickets for that one...
