Know what I was thinkin' this afternoon? I was thinkin', "Why in the
world did U2 play Love Is Blindness at the end of many ZooTV
concerts?!?" Yes, they played Unchained Melody after that, but...
STILL! If I were at that ZooTV show, I would want a happier song with a
faster pace to end the concert. If I was in that audience, I would have
been bawlin'! I'd be sobbing and thinkin', "This night! This night
that I've been waiting for, for SO long.... it's almost over. This
night that I've bragged about forever, tellin' everyone, `I'm seein' U2
in concert!!!'..... it's all gone now. It went so fast. Life goes too
fast. I'll be dead soon! And this song. Love Is Blindness. How sad!
This all is just one huge, sad moment. Oh God! This is terrible."
That's what I'd be thinkin'. Love Is Blindness is a truly wonderful,
deep song, with total FEELING.... but to me, it's a tear jerker.

What I'd need is a song like Where the Streets Have No Name, Pride or
Bad. But if U2 didn't want one of their "oldies," then they could have
played Mysterious Ways or ULTRAVIOLET! I think UV would have been a
great song to end with. It's positive. I bet everyone would leave with
a smile on their face and just feelin' GOOD! Well, not that they didn't
already. I know I would still leave with a smile on my face after Love
Is Blindness, because... afterall... I would have just seen U2 in
concert! But I'd still be crying. Really. I'm not so sure I would
feel good. I'd *already* be missing that night. The night I
anticipated for soooooooo long. Do ya catch my drift???

I know, I know. I'm goin' on and on. Sorry. My point IS: don't end
the concert with a sad song. It drives me crazy. Put the sad/slow
songs somewhere in the middle. Love Is Blindness gets me down every
time I watch the Sydney ZooTV show. Mr. Macphisto sings that and
Unchained Melody so slow and tenderly. It's beautiful... but it makes
me sad, and I miss U2 too much. I'd REALLY rather leave the stadium
pumped! READY TO TAKE ON THE WORLD! Feelin' GOOOOOOOD, baby! I want
to feel rejuvinated! U2's got TONS of happier songs that can *really*
do it for me. Does anyone feel what I'm feelin', too?

"Love is blindness. I don't wanna see. Won't you wrap the night around
me?"
