Everybody headbang!
The other is more personal. March 3rd was the 15th anniversary of the U2 album POP. It was the first U2 album that was new to me - the first U2 album I didn't hear second hand from my brother's room.

Two Things That Make Me Feel Old
The one most of you will appreciate: Buffy premiered 15 years ago.

I remember mom was driving me to school the day Discotheque was released as a single on the radio, and we drove around the block just so we could hear it all before she dropped me off. I also remember for my birthday that year we went cross country skiing at my cabin and I had that album on repeat all weekend. Now that album always reminds me of cold and ice and woodsmoke. I was too out of touch to hear the collective WTF? from their fans upon release of that album. I love it. Even though it gave us the contentious Discotheque, it also gave us awesome songs like the heart-breaking Please (see it live from Sarajevo circa 1997), and the beautiful Staring at the Sun.

My full respects to you sir regarding POP. I have fond memories of it (and the time) also.
Thinking it was 15 years ago does somewhat make me feel old.. but boy that was good times.. amazing album/tour/image/concept etc.
