Imagine my absolute happiness and pride when I found out that U2 is
in my History of Music text book for my music class at school!!! They're
under the heading of the most influential bands of the 80s. It states
that there were 2 very influential groups and one is our guys and the
other is Guns n' Roses. It talks a bit about TUF and JT and there's also
a picture from the ZooTV tour in it!! YEAH!!!! There are our boys, right
along side Mozart, Verdi, Gershwin...!!
Ok anyways... so there's this girl at my school and at the start of
the year I saw her passing by with a shirt from the Popmart tour (dark
blue with the lemon/shopping cart on the front) and I thought - whoa!
wait! shirt - her - what? So I asked her if she went to the concert etc.
but she said no and that she didn't even know who U2 were! Turns out a
friend gave it to her. I thought, such a waste, she doesn't even know
who they are yet she wears the shirt! So the other day she passed by
again and I thought it would be a good idea to mention to her that I
would love to buy the shirt off her if she ever wanted to sell it. Well
she came by my locker 2 days ago and asked if I was serious and I said,
yeah! She said it was no problem because the shirt didn't mean anything
to her etc. So we worked out a deal. Next day I had the shirt in my hand
and there was $5 in hers! Happy me.
I think I'm just a little whacked out today because I'm lacking
sleep, homework and work is taking up all my spare time.. how did I find
time to do this? Well tomorrow the teachers here are going on strike. Oh
boy. But it's only for one day because it's a rotating strike going
throughout Ontario by different boards each day. You see the provincial
government here in Ontario knows nothing about education and they're
making awful and drastic changes to the system without figuring out
consequences or what could be expected outcomes. There's a big loss of
money in the education system and there is now very little power inside
seperate school boards - the government thinks they can run everything
and know everyone's needs - hahahaha. Ok I'm rambling cause this is
totally not U2 related. Ok I'm done.
BTW... I have 120 midis (U2 and U2 related) on my homepage now, so
check them out.
Anyone else here read Bruce Chatwin books??
