Puts a smile on my face every time




Just a minor detail in my life.
I love U2.
From the first time my sister played me
U2's first single "Out of Control", I was instantly hooked on the raw sound. The four Irish blokes really don't even know the magnitude of emotional support that they give their fans through their meaningful, lyrical ballads. This song in particular has been my favorite ever since 1987. I remember it was in the spring right before the Ruff family moved out to Cali when my sister popped a double sided u2 tape in the good old station Wagon. And that's when the addiction kicked in. Whether it's the 8 concerts that I have attended (4 front row), or the crazy memorabilia that keeps adding up, or the search for the latest u2 song/remix, I will never lose my love for the boys from Ireland. This specific video from Slane Castle is and has been my favorite of all the "Out of Control" performances, because they sing this song verbatim from their first concert in 1981. So if you ever want me to sing this song to you verbatim, I will not have any problems remembering the lyrics while singing my karaoke heart out. Enjoy :)
