    Might watch a bootleg or the Rose Bowl dvd tonight

    What's the best-looking/sounding multi-cam out there from 360?
    Zurich 2, look no further.

    But you are right: time waits for no one...

    *some say it was the god Chronos though (but that was -or is? - a he too).

    haha, "Mother Time" struck me too - I always think of time as masculine, while nature & history are femenine. English is so simple that it has no grammatical gender for most nouns, but those of us who speak gender-specific languages always wonder about this

    Time is definitely masculine. Anything that destroys you, sucks the life out of you, takes from you, etc... is undoubtedly masculine machismo.

    Falls wanking to the floor.
    His trick is you and me, boy."--David Bowie

    As you know, in Spanish, "Father Time" is a common expression.

    As long as the man is in very good health now I don't care what he looks like. Old Mother Time* has a way of beating the shit out of us all folks!

    * according to me (I like to change things now and again if things are steeped in myth).

    Affirmative though, the saying is 'Old Father Time'. And yes, someone is a student of (or knows) their Greek mythology. It's also in the Christian mythology too.

  12. Listening to Pride on the Sirius channel today and it kind of hit me that despite choosing Streets as U2’s signature song, I really think it could be Pride.

    When I first saw the band in 2009, I was in off of Streets and again in 2011. I was thrilled to hear Pride in that concert as well and it really struck me. When I saw them on I+e Pride was above and beyond Streets in terms of emotional connection.

    In the current times we live in and the overarching message of U2, I think Pride is finding more and more relevancy and legitimacy as U2’s signature song.
