Dreams Unlocked

U2 circa. 1991. I have never written an entire blog on U2 before so here goes. I first heard of U2 when I was 13. An older kid in youth group told me about this Christian band that were really big. I bought the War album on vinyl and liked it - especially "40". I started buying more of their music and in high-school I gained a quick reputation as being the "U2" guy.
