First, thanks to Andrew for creating this safe
haven! My Bono Fatigue started shortly after "Atomic
Bomb" was released. I listened to the enhanced
CD for 302 hours straight, even while sleeping.
It was a total binge and I knew better. I also read
that book of interviews with Bono, "Conversations,"
about six times.
During that same time I got "hooked" on
the Africa cause really bad. I made myself feel
sick about AIDS and poverty, to the point where
I couldn't think about anything else. I OD'ed pretty
bad and got the biggest case of BF. I couldn't even
hear Bono's voice without feeling totally self-righteous
and prophetic. I thought I was way hipper than all
my non-U2 loving Christian friends. I even quit
going to church and listened to U2 music on Sunday
mornings as my "church."
I finally realized I had a problem, so I went cold
turkey for 5 months, then weaned back onto their
stuff. I have earned my family and friends back,
and now I moderate my U2 intake. BF can be beat,
people! |

I guess I'm in the middle of some
bad BF. I dreamed last night that Bono, Bono's wife,
Bob Geldof and the Edge were hiding around every
corner and jumping out to frighten me and play "I'm
gonna getcha" while pinching and tickling me.
It was awful to have my favorite band in a nightmare!
When I ran away from them I felt guilty, like I
wasn't doing the "right thing."
The weird thing is, I don't even know who Bob Geldof
is. It must have come into my head subliminally.
Is he the Live Aid guy? Or Band-Aid? Even typing
the word "Aid" is bringing on symptoms.
Agh! |

I relapsed last night and listened to the first
three songs of Achtung. By the time The Fly rolled
around I was back to thinking Bono was Elijah. It's
amazing how long it takes to get over distorted
thoughts. I can't wait 'til my detox is done and
I get back to regular listening. I miss U2, but
I can't have them right now! |

Peace, bro. You'll recover. Have you tried Delirious
in the meantime? |

Can Christian magazines let up on the Bono hagiographies
already? Okay, so you figured out that he's a Christian,
you think he's a prophet. Big deal. Can we get off
the rock star kick? Or am I suddenly uncool? I hope
this site is about free expression. |

Dan, that's fine. Say whatever you want. We're
all at different stages. |

Bono is to his audience what Benny Hinn is to
his. Both are considered to "preach" the
message of God. The only difference is that Bono's
followers think they're hot snot. Benny's don't.
I wonder which posture God honors? Just a thought. |

Has anyone else re-introduced U2 after their BF?
What's the best way? I'm thinking of listening to
"Boy" as a test. It will be my first U2
album in 3 months and I'm wondering if I can expect
some symptoms to show up again, or if the fatigue
is really gone????? Help, help … |

I've been reading this site and think maybe I
have BF but don't know it. At first the Africa thing
was edgy and hip. Now I feel that Africa won't ever
change. I told my girlfriend, "Here's how Africans
can solve their own freaking crisis. Quit having
promiscuous sex, and then overthrow the goons and
dictators who run their countries."
Seriously, people, Jesus said to be a good steward
of your time and money. I defy anyone to tell me
that Africa is a good investment. Ever. |
