Musical Roulette: Where The Streets Have No Name by U2

*Going to try to get back to doing this. Stole the idea from Riley Breckenridge of Thrice. I'll randomly play one of my "saved" songs on Spotify and post it regardless of how mundane or embarrassing it may be. There's a story behind a person's relationship with every song. These are my stories.

I didn't become the music lover I am until middle school. Early on I liked the Beach Boys and listened to a lot of oldies, but I didn't listen to modern, popular music until middle school. In 7th grade I had one of those young, cool science teachers and I'd hang out in this guy's classroom at lunch sometimes, and he'd give me music. Joshua Tree was one of the tapes he gave me. The other I remember vividly is Def Leppard's Hysteria. This one's an instant classic - hard to believe it's about to be 30 years old. 

I'm not a huge U2 fan, but have tons of respect for what they've done. And I absolutely love how much they've worked to make the world a better place through AIDS prevention, sourcing clean water, etc. Good dudes bringing the Kingdom to the world, not trying to take the world to the Kingdom.
