Two great tastes that belong together. For non-U2 fans (which means most of my friends), the band was on Conan last night -- FOR THE ENTIRE FUCKING SHOW! It was a slice of fangirl heaven. I couldn't sleep, so I stayed up to watch it and I've figured out a few things:
1. Conan razzing the fans is funny as hell and it's nice to see the fans roll with it and not get snotty. The thing about fandom is that you can't take yourself too seriously -- don't get too upset if people tease you about your crushes.
2. The Year 2000 skit with The Edge, Bono and Conan is the BEST. THING. EVER. I forgot how much fun Conan can be with his skits. Edge was adorable and there's something about hearing the word "Booberry" in an Irish accent that makes things funnier. Not to mention the quote "The Edge will admit that he wears knitted cap to distract people from Bono's crap sunglasses."
3. If Edge is my first crush, Adam's battling for second place. He's just got a nice, posh accent and is also witty as hell.
4. Bono needs a haircut. No seriously. While I'm glad it's not the frosted mullet of doom, I want to take a pair of hedge clippers to his head or make him ruffle the slicked-backness.
5. Enjoyed watching Larry looking annoyed and uncomfortable about the Popmart tour. The man can't lie to save his life.
6. Bono can't dance to save his life. But that's actually really endearing to me. Too many musicians nowadays need to be a dancer/actor/singer/writer bullshit thing. Be good at the music. That's what I buy fucking CDs for.
Anyways, I've got it on Tivo and I'm tempted to watch In the Year 2000 until I have it committed to memory.
