I knew i had a serious problem. At first i denied
that my problem existed but the denial did no good.
It all started one day while listening to Bullet
The Blue Sky. For some strange reason i felt moved
to go outside, roll around in the dirt, whail very
loudly and rip my clothing. I thought i was going
crazy.....and so did my neighbors. Then there was
the time i saw a lady throwing away a half eaten
Big Mac at McDonalds and i yelled at her. I can
also remember one particular night i was watching
a documentary on drought and famine in Africa. I
became so distressed that i drug the television
outside and blasted it with my shotgun.
I was arrested for disturbing the peace and the
judge advised me to stop listening to U2.
I did as the judge told me and thought i was all
better. But i was tempted to listen to them again.
Once i started listening again i experienced a relapse
of the Bono Fatigue. I suffered a total of fifteen
relapses within a ten year period.
I finally got in touch with a behavioral disorders
specialist from Dublin Ireland who specializes in
Bono Fatigue. His professional diagnosis was i had
progressed to a much more advanced stage of Bono
Fatigue. He termed it as "Stage One Chronic
Bono Fatigue Syndrome". I am currently attempting
to form a support group for suferers of Bono Fatigue. |

It is so good to find this site. I am not just
warn out on mr. vox but do not have the same pleasure
listening to my favorite band as I used to. I am
definitely going through bf. I miss the way those
albums sounded in the beginning. U2 has been a major
part of my life since the early nineties. My fatigue
has been so bad lately that I had to turn to being
addicted to listening to Pearl Jam just for a change
of pace. Now I am at the point of fasting listening
to all music for an entire week and just listening
for the still small voice of God. I look forward
to the future joy I will once again have listening
to bonoman, hitman, poptart, and mr. the edge once
again. For now I am taking a much needed rest. |

Being a U2 fan on and having BF is one thing.
Try being at the heart of hundreds of thousands
of U2 fans, and having dealt with official channels.
Fatigue doesn't describe the feeling I've had on
and off nuclear brownouts since 2000. It's a band,
and they put on a freakin' SHOW. Bono, Prophet?
I don't think so. Good human being? Yes. I'm sick
of seeing him everywhere though. I'm sick of friends
and family thinking that my life revolves around
U2, and calling me everytime they see something
Bono or U2. I can't even name all the tracks on
'Bomb'.

My god... this site is my saviour (when Bono is
not.) For the past 4 months, I've listened only
to U2... and dreamed of them! I've had at least
two RECURRING DREAMS about U2; one actually even
involved a some drunk Italian people, some characters
from that "Nightmare Before Christmas"
movie, and the Edge, and Bono and Ali Hewson and
their spawn! (AKA Jordan, Eve, etc.) This is insane.
I shouldn't even KNOW enough about Bono's kids to
see them in my dreams... I love you, fellow detoxers.... |

A few months back, I told my wife that I didn't
have a problem. I said, "Hey, back off. I can
quit anytime I want too." I knew deep down
that it was a lie but she bought it. I found myself
reaching for my iPod needing a quick fix every few
hours. I even went to a concert by myself. That
is when I knew I had hit rock bottom. BF has cost
me my friends and family. I isolated myself from
all the people who cared about me. Everyone but
Bono, The Edge, Larry, and Adam that is. I've been
told that it has to get worse before it gets better.
I'm taking it one day at a time. |

Well, I've been a serious Bono addict for most
of my adult life. But honestly. He is waaaaayyy
too everywhere. Clothing, Soccer, Africa, Washington,
church, HIV and now the nightly news. And he's starting
to look like Steve Jobs. Where's the long hair,
leather and chest hair? And this Leonard Cohen movie.
Give me a break. I heard him interviewed yesterday
on Fresh Air on NPR and he couldn't have been a
more self-absorbed bore. Cohen? Bono, do you have
to glom onto everything? Show some discrimination,
man.
Another thing, how in the world is it possible
to truly get away from Bono in the media at this
point. I love the man, but he has gone too far
for me. Help! |

Hi! This place is for me!!!!!
I've been sufering BF since Feb 22 when the concerts
here in Brazil finished and I couldn't get my sign
and pic whith him.
I've been his fan sice 1984, and i've been working
in a U2 Brazilian Fan site since 3 years ago, a
lot of work.
I went to Miami and Tampa concerts because i didn't
believe that U2 could come to Brazil, i meet Bono
and Edge in Nov 14th, shook Edge's hand, but not
Bono:( I was waiting anxiously to met Bono here
in Brazil, was my last chance, but i coudn't :(
Now, i don't know when I could met him again...

Hey everyone. I'm really glad that I found this
site. I, too, think that I have BF. Although I've
been a fan my whole life, I only recently saw my
first U2 concert in October 2005. That was all it
took to get me totally hooked. Ever since then,
I can't listen to anything but U2. I have hundreds
of songs on my I-pod, but, for some reason, my thumb
has a mind of its own and before I know it, I'm
clicking my way back to U2. It's worse than that
though. Some friends were kind enough to lend me
their U2 concert DVDs. I had them for weeks and
when they would ask for them back, I would simply
reply "What DVDs? You never gave them to me."
It was almost as if I felt that I had a divine right
to them...I just don't know. At my last job, when
a head honcho was about to make a presentation,
I verbally belted out The Edge's opening guitar
rift from Pride as he walked to the podium. (Notice
how I said my "last" job.) However, now,
I'm am totally getting fatigued!
. The guitar rifts sound flat; Bono's voice is not
as angelic; and, in my mind, Africa has reverted
back to the "dark continent" instead of
a place of hope and potential. Does anyone have
any suggestions how to get the mojo back? |
