U2

Last night, my Nashville-now DC resident friends and I experienced the rare phenomenon of a U2 concert.
After living on Capitol Hill for over a month it was both refreshing and shocking to attend such an event.
Refreshing in that we all felt more like we were in Nashville than DC, shocking in that there is no escaping politics.
I watched the world renowned Bono strut and sing and woo and win the hearts and minds of hundreds of thousands of cheering fans, packing the MCI arena.
In the words of Spiderman, “With great power comes great responsibility.”
And in the words of a much older source, “To whom much is given, much will be expected.”
I dare say Bono is neither ignorant of this truth, nor lackadaisical about living it out.
