Well blow me over with a feather, I'm agreeing with my bud David!

But here's my question: how would you (everyone, not just David) feel if U2
made it know before the next tour (assuming there is one) that they were
retiring certain older songs that had been played to death and would only
play newer songs in concert?

For example, what if the announcement of another tour included news that
they would no longer be playing anything prior to Achtung Baby? What if
they just put the 80s to rest?

Like it? Dislike it?

Matt
