Classic Rock

The Onion reminds us that U2’s Achtung Baby album is twenty years old now. A few thoughts:

• I’m getting fucking old. 
• Achtung got all the hype when it came out, but Zooropa is still the better and more rewarding album.
• I remember being really disappointed that I didn’t have anyone to take me to the ZooTV concert in Madison. 
• I had just purchased a fancy 5-disc CD bookshelf system shortly before this album was released. I don’t think it left my CD player for at least six months after I bought it.
• This album served as something of an introduction for me to the world of electronic music.
• I’m getting really fucking old.
