Guerilla Time.

Though they are growing a bit boring now, you gotta love U2. They have had many great videos over the years, but this one sprang to my mind today. It was so weird to watch it for so many reasons. This video is about 20 years old and it's strange to see them looking so young and earnest!  It's also strange to notice how much the world has changed since then. I would think a band would never get the permission for something like this in the first place now a days and it seems like the police also have more power now then they used to.  I suppose we can also thank Mr. Bush for that one!

In this long version it really makes me laugh about how the radio people keep talking about how it's not a good neighbourhood! Bono never did have long hair again after this... I just can't get over how young they look! Their next album was Achtung Baby where they started taking themselves less seriously and began to play with the ideas of image. There's actually a really interesting book written about this time in the bands career and what was happening in the world then. It's called U2 at the end of the world.
