Not me. Like Kevin, "Baba" still does it for me.

I didn't mean to imply that U2 rose to fame quickly; I just wanted to point out
that JOSHUA TREE was the album that pushed them over the edge (!) into
superstardom.

Yalp. Bono's a politician now.

Not true - on occasion my comments are both truthful & sincere.

Har har. Just for that I'm throwing my support behind the Dean campaign.

Oh, I forgot about that one! That's my least favorite, also. They have Entwistle
on the cover playing the bass left-handed! And it seems to be a 10-string!
Same with Pete's "guitar" - a 10-string. (?) Also, Moon is drawn holding the stick
in his left hand in the conventional (think Charlie Watts) manner. Keith didn't
play that way. Terrible cover.
