Ever have *too* much U2?

So, I’m in my local grocery store and on the PA system, they’ve got their satellite radio station playing. Not MUSAK, but real music. Suddenly as I’m about to enter Aisle 4, I hear Stuck in a Moment…and I think “hey, that’s cool!” As soon as that song concludes, I’m now in the dairy department and I hear another familiar tune - it’s the Corrs with Bono with Stars Go Blue. I think I’ve hit the jackpot.

Then, in the checkout aisle when that song concludes, they have TV screens that entertain you while you’re waiting to be checked out…and running along the bottom is a Reuters news story about how Bono’s in Africa. Now I think, “Ok - enough already.”

Driving into work today, WBOS-FM is playing Streets, and when that song concludes and I’m channel surfing, MIKE-FM is playing Numb.

Suddenly, I’ve discovered that it’s a bit too overwhelming, even for an uber-U2 fan, to have so much U2 in such a short amount of time.

Luckily for me, there’s a website i can go to: http://www.bonofatigue.com.

I’ve realized I’m not the only one who may feel a bit oversaturated in regards to U2 or Bono. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still enjoying the fact that I have reminders everywhere (heck, even my car’s license plate) that I am indeed a U2 fan and I let it show…but from time to time, I am reminded that it’s OK to feel it’s a bit too much. (However, could that be considered an oxymoron?) :-)

    Me and my roommate have gotten U2 fatigue and have had to quit listening to them for weeks or months at a time.

    However, after a while we put their CDs back in and listen to all their songs all over again! That cycle has repeated itself for years now.

    Also, before we went to their Vertigo concert, we considered “fasting” for their music so we would appreciate it more at the concert and not burn out on it.
