I have recently concluded a study of the dreaded BF syndrome, and I have concluded that finding a complete cure will take billions of Dollars of gvernment funding. Nothing like this has been seen since the early outbreak of JLF syndrome in the late sixties. With the retreat of John Lennon Fatigue syndrome, we thought this ailment was gone forever.

Now with the advent of this illness Some believe to be a sever mutation of the earlier form) We thought we had it licked in the early days, and some of us thought that after the Zooropa strain, that indeed we had gained ground.

Suddenly and without warning, the "AYCLB" mutation occured, and the illness spread like wildfire, further cemented by the "HTDAAB" mutation.

I am convinced that this will likely be the end of life as we know it. Some have posited that this may not be that glum.

After apocolypse comes recovery. Some say that it is truly the next step in our evolution. Becoming more world aware, wearing cool shades...

I though am uncertain, but wish you all well as we tumble towards uncertainty.

And God help us.

It’s all happening again…. Heart palpitations, lose of appetite, watching the videos after my wife goes to bed.

I thought my BF went into remission after I worked through the personal loss and pain of having the final Vertigo concert in Honolulu cancelled last April (I was going to fly from California). I started reading books and articles on subjects unrelated to Africa and those we do not speak of. I returned to blogging about the normal stuff of life: kids, vacations, photography. I was even listening to Enya again.

But they announced last week that dates for the rescheduled Hawaii concert would be forthcoming.

That triggered my BF. I listen to those we do not speak of constantly and check their website almost hourly. I bought a couple of CDs on eBay that I didn’t already have and planned multiple scenarios for a coming trip to Aloha stadium! I started wearing my WWBD bracelet again.

It’s been eight days since they announced the rescheduling of the tour – why won’t they give us the dates? And then, a horrible thought comes to mind: maybe they have told everyone but me, maybe they don’t want me there....

Help!

I think BF is a lot like Keith Green Fatigue was way back when

Although I would say that I can feel the onset of BF now, my primary concern is for all of my friends I can tell are headed down that rough road even now.

Awareness and communication are vital for us to get a grip on this epi-meme-ic.

A friend of mine led me to this safe haven. Even right now my wife is nagging on me for playing U2 everywhere. In the car, in the house. In the day and in the night. Everywhere and all the time. I keep telling her I can't help myself for listening to the best band in the world with the greatest singer/songwriter in it.

I am sorry to even ask but I listen to U2 all the time for quite some years now but I am not tired yet of it... is that ok? Or is it simply denial? Thanks .

I was thinkin' of just reading a few posts, but I couldn't let this one pass without responding somehow. While I agree it's easy to be disheartened by the immensity of the African problem, my understanding of the gospel is that God calls us to make the effort ("If you love me, Peter, feed my sheep"), not to haggle about how much success we will see with our own eyes. A tough discipline, I know. Secondly, I think Europeans and the U.S. still owe Africa something, because we did a lot to create the political climates which gave rise to the goons mentioned in your post. I just read _The Poisonwood Bible_, a great novel and a good reminder about the Belgian Congo (which became Zaire, then Dem. Republic of Congo a few years back). Zaire's Mbutu, one of those classically corrupt African "goons", was more or less put in power through the manipulations of the Eisenhower-era CIA and others more concerned with commie-hating than with providing genuine support --spiritual, eco! nomic or otherwise. So if we're not obligated to help clean up what's partly our own mess, where is the responsibility that Jesus calls us to? Bono's just being persistent, according to the nudging of the Spirit within him, in attending to "our brothers" across the pond? So if you want to avoid Africa Fatigue, as well as Bono Fatigue, then ask the Spirit what you can actually *do* rather than just listening to all the pro and con chatter.

Yo,

I am in a pre-bf phase. Having been a fan since the early '80s I have only had marginal intake for the last 20 years. However, I am just coming down from a massive amount of "Cash" intake. (this is not because of the movie for all you "posers" out there). This has led me to examine those who respected J.R. After reading "Conversations" I have began to enjoy U2 all over again. Where is the proper line to avoid BF????

Anyone remember when the only cause for U2 was Ireland and Nicaragua??
