Where The Streets

I haven't been to my water fitness class in a week due to the meds situation (but also having read that it might actually be possible to spread/catch a UTI from poorly maintained pools OMG KILL ME NOW) so this thought is a couple of weeks old, but there's one instructor who plays a lot of U2 and it got me thinking about how I've kind of gone off U2.

When "Achtung Baby" came out I listened to it NON STOP.  I LOVED it and loved the songs.  One... Mysterious Ways..... and Love is Blindness especially.  I still probably have the CD around somewhere.  But for whatever reasons, I no longer really enjoy listening to U2 and even those songs.  (Some of their early stuff I'm still good with.)

Maybe it was over saturation?  Maybe it's me having grown and changed?  I don't know.  I just know that a band and songs that used to be heavy in my rotation are now not at all.  And that's a little weird.

There are plenty of songs and bands that I've listened to for decades, hundreds of times.  I'm not sure what did or didn't happen for me with U2.  (And yes, I was one of the many who were furious when we were given that one album on our apple devices that time without permission.)

Just a strange realization I had the other day while listening to some U2 songs and thinking that I used to really like them a whole lot more.

Weird, eh?
