There are four radio stations that would normally play old and current
u2. I called all four of them. 100.3, 101.1, and 104.1 did not have
the single and would put it into rotation as soon as they got it. 93.1
didn't know anything about a new U2 single. Hmph! Well, after heading
back from the library I thought I should check the local cool CD shoppe
to see if anything used came through.

Imagine my disbelief when I discovered a gold labeled disc labeled prcd
7961-2. The Sweetest Thing promo for $1.98!!! Whoo! This is also the
same store that sold me the Passengers: Soundchats promo for 13 bucks
unopened. I have firmly cemented my buying relationship with this store
forever. Anyway, I find it odd that in the Orlando market a fan has to
resort to sorting through the used cd bins to listen to a new single
that should be on the radio. Oh well...
