I've been a U2 fan since 1985, when I was a twelve year old boy growing up in Derry in Northern Ireland, and like millions of people I fell under Bono's spell whilst watching Live Aid on TV. And they've been with me down all the days ever since, providing the musical accompaniment to many big, small, important and irrelevant moments in my life. This is the story of the many places where, the many times when, and the many ways how, U2 have inspired, entertained, influenced and enraged me: with their music, their lyrics, their concerts and their concepts.
