Over the last week I have become obsessed with early '80s U2. This is not the first time it has happened.
Whenever I think about U2 Sunday Bloody Sunday is the first tune that pops into my mind and mainly because of this video.
Strange I know. There really isn't anything special about this video, but to me during this time and first being introduced to MTV it was totally different. I'll let you go back in your mind and recall all the shit 80's music and videos being peddled at this time.
This was different. These guys were sweaty and rocking and you could see their breathe so it must have been cold and what was the guy marching out with the white flag for? It was making a statement, I was too young to know or care what it was but I liked it.
U2 sort of ends with The Joshua Tree for me. Rattle & Hum lost me and soon they seemed to become a mockery of themselves although I haven't hated the last two albums maybe out of nostalgia. But Sunday Bloody Sunday will always be a special song for me.
