Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land!

Naw, who saw this one comin'?
On 3/29/01 I saw U2 perform at the Charlotte Coliseum. I was living in Charlotte at the time which was super cool...they were playing several miles from my home! Unfortunately, this show sucked major ass. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this was one of the worst concerts I've ever been to...definitely the worst U2 show I've ever seen. It was just...blah and boring and had lots of technical issues including the fact that the singer forgot half of the lyrics. At least I didn't have to travel far.
