I'm glad to make your day positive. I believe that it is many a person who grumbles, but one who remains positive. Peace!

37 here... and a U2 fan since about 1983/1984. Whether or not I'm 'ridiculous' about the band depends on who you ask about me.

I don't care, though - everybody has a passion (or should); mine just happens to be 4 mates from Dublin.

I'm 37 nearly 38

Been a fan since 1984 when i saw Bono on TV , the video for Pride was on Top Of The Pops

Been hooked ever since, married an Irishman and yes every non U2 fan that knows me thinks i'm insane

They just don't understand

Hi! I'm way over 35. I've been a fan since the early 80's, when my sister introduced them to me. I fell by the wayside somewhere around 1985 (too busy with a new baby to follow or listen to anything!) then I went thru my "born again" period and only listened to Christian music. My daughter discovered U2 in a religion class and got me hooked again!

37, creeping up on 38, been a U2 fan longer than 1/2 this board has been alive, it seems.

First time I saw them was JT tour, May 1987, I was 16. UF was the first album I ever bought on cassette. I used to listen to the band on college radio (WFUV) when I was 11 or so.....

Midwestgirl · 10-05-2008, 02:01 AM

I'm 38 and have been a fan since I was 12 (my daughters age now)

I don't consider myself old by any means. I still feel like I'm 22

I turned 35 just over a month ago. That counts as over 35!

redkat · 10-05-2008, 03:51 PM

I will be soon enough. I certainly don't feel old. I think I'm regressing

i am 35. the coolest thing about being an older fan is that we saw it all happen first hand. we know what it´s like to buy the new u2 RECORD and not just download everything. we saw the concerts that younger fans wish they´d seen. we have collections of memorabilia dating back to the early 80´s. we roamed the earth looking for expensive rare 7 inches and bootleg vinyls containing obscure versions of songs that one can now download for free in about 2 minutes. what we don´t have that 19 year olds have is time to sit back and enjoy it all.
