Like the kids in the video, probably most of us couldn't be made to care, but today is the fun 50th anniversary of U2. They played a live show at their high school where Larry Mullen Jr. put up a flyer looking for bandmates 50 years ago.
Check it (new single, live in Dublin)!

Origen didn’t castrate himself, Hell isn’t permanent, and why must I redeem the reputation of St. Nicholas in the 21st century? The man did not slap Arius.
