    "The U2 Experience" w John, Todd, & Erik

    What was is like to fall in love with a band when they are in mid-career? Have you been the fan of a band and then found out that your new friends also enjoyed said band? Did that band become "your band," as in the band of the friend group? What if this took place in the '90s? In 2018 the guys and I dreamed up a U2 podcast called "The U2 Experience" which would have been a series of episodes, album to album, of how we individually and or collectively experienced the band. This conversation occurred in 2018 and was meant to be a rehearsal, but I have re-packaged it slightly; and with the guys' permission, post it for you listening pleasure.
