  2. not mine in any way, form or shape... but these paragraphs grabbed my attention...

     

    Bono set the tone in the first break, riffing on the tour's iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE theme and asking the crowd: "Can you still experience innocence after all of these years?"

    That's not always an easy question with U2. At this point, multiple generations can claim U2 origin stories; the musical bookmarks from their past that brought them out on a Monday night to sing along in near-religious fervor to the group's biggest hits.

    At the same time, the band had the audience questioning: Where is our innocence after Ferguson and during the AIDS crisis? What have we learned from the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the conflict in Ireland? Can we become global citizens? What is magic and what is a trick?

    Perhaps, that's what U2 does best. In the wake of thousands of glowing cell phones and selfie attempts, it's a band that can still insert a little humanity, charity and mystery into the rock 'n' roll juggernaut. On Monday, it was nostalgic and refreshing—and it felt a little innocent—all at once.
