80s Rock
Thanks go out to Ayaz for giving all of us hope that we can be rockin’ out to great music well into our 80s. She is 79, hails from the Northeast part of the United States, and caught her 3rd U2 show at Croke Park recently. All of you Bonophiles out there - watch out! You’ve got competition!

If you were 79 and going to a U2 show, how would you explain it to friends and relatives?

That’s great! As an older, grayer fan myself, I’m glad to see someone who didn’t grow up with rock ‘n’ roll displaying such good taste (not to mention fortitude and stamina).

She rocks! And I thought my mom was pretty cool. Can we adopt her as @U2’s unofficial “mom”?

Kicking myself for not talking to her at the show. Hopefully will run into her on Leg 3. I couldn’t believe how many cool moms I ran into at shows, bringing their kids to the shows!

Brilliant! In answer to Phil’s question, I wouldn’t explain it at all, to anyone. Why should you have to?

this is a brief but beatyfull story,a real one.
Cuba 1980 approx.” Yara” cinema, Havana. every day during 3 moths period.
12oo am,late Me carlos the only one who know english, i found myself translating Bono lirics into spanish in a comunist country… Cuba.
That inspire to one of my listeners to the point that folow his bliss we were given 2,5 acres in Joshua Tree, California…there we will plant a Temple to the Arts or
Templarte. So where the streets have no name also is that little terrain where I
will know for sure that some day U2 will visit.
