  12. Sooo, now that I finished, I'm explaining.

    That was a year and a half ago, and I was in a philosophy class. We were talking about something like "Is reinventing yourself a way to go back on everything you've stood for?". I immediatly thought about the transition from the JT/R&H era to Achtung Baby, of course, but I didn't say a word about it. I mean, in an 18 years old students class, almost nobody must know these albums and the differences between them.

    After a few minutes of discussion, our teacher said something like "In music, there are many artists or bands that completly change their style during their career. If you listen to U2, you'll immediatly see there was a big transition between the Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby". I was like , while all my classmates were . My teacher saw I was like the only one to really understand what he meant, and we went for a 2 minutes discussion about that precise topic. He told me that his favorite albums were AB and Zooropa, but he did not like the 2000s albums, he jugded too "casual compared to that masterpiece Achtung Baby is".

    A few weeks after that, a friend of mine (let's say my best friend) got really sick, and he was in the hospital. That friend was a classmate too, and his situation really affected my philosophy teacher. Knowing we were close, my friend and me, he suggested that he could bring me seeing him to the hospital, since I did not have my driving licence back then and it was 1h30 from our common living town. Of course, I accepted (you can measure how amazing is that guy, by the way, because in France, doing such a thing is not allowed, you normally can't go in your teacher's car).

    When I got into his car the day we went visiting my friend, he told me "Thibaut, open the glove box". I did so, and what I saw completly amazed me. The whole 12 U2 albums, just in front of me in my teacher's car I put Achtung Baby, and we were discussing every song about what we liked or not. He told me he saw U2 the last time they played in Lyon, in 1992. "I was as old as you're now back then, but I really remember every detail of that night. If only I could listen to it again...". Back from Lyon hospital, we listened to Pop, it was a great moment too.

    The day after, to thank him, I came to high school with a burned CD of the 1992 Lyon bootleg I found on U2start. Not the best quality bootleg, but still, he was very happy to be able to listen to it, 18 years after.
