It was 20 years ago today that I saw my first U2 show. At the ripe old age of 39, I had been to dozens and dozens of rock concerts in the Baltimore/DC area, but this night started my 20 year passion for U2. Thirty three shows, 12 cities (2 outside of the US), many GA and Red Zone lines later, my obsession has cooled somewhat, but I still can't wait until the next tour. Highlights - sleeping outside of RFK to buy tickets; meeting other fans and finding out about Propaganda; and the rain. I had a very close seat for the show on the next night and was absolutely mesmorized. I still recall Bono's "ready for the push" move that sealed him in my mind as a sex symbol, and crying tears of joy at the beauty of "With or Without You."
