What Bands have you Abandoned?
Some bands that I heavily rotated have been knocked out of my orbit permanently. I’m not talking about the half-defunct geezer reunion bands at the local Lucky You Don’t Have Smallpox Casino (sorry Journey) but rather bands that never lost their self-inflated bombasity, still tour and release tedious albums to presumably a few die hard hangers-on.
U2 is that band for me. I was a huge fan of their formative anthem-heavy single syllabic origins (WAR! BOY!) up through the release of the seminal (not a Casino; those are Seminoles) The Joshua Tree. Then something fell out. The carburetor started dragging. Something about Fly Sunglasses and songs-about-songs just didn’t connect anymore.
