U2
Like Zoe Greene, I fell in love with U2 when I heard The Joshua Tree in 1987. U2 is a through-line in My Thirty-First Year (And Other Calamities) and has been a through-line in my life for 35 years. Their music has evoked, released, identified, mirrored, and helped me process my emotions, and the unfettered joy I get from unwrapping their albums, listening to their music—and holy shit, seeing them live—is nothing less than magic.
