Comments on: U2′s Kite http://www.foundhistory.org/2007/07/25/u2s-kite/ by Tom Scheinfeldt Wed, 11 Jan 2012 16:11:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Aditya http://www.foundhistory.org/2007/07/25/u2s-kite/comment-page-1/#comment-8761 Aditya Fri, 10 Jul 2009 06:23:31 +0000 http://www.foundhistory.org/2007/07/25/u2s-kite/#comment-8761 I think this is one of the best and very accurate dissections of a U2 song I have ever read. As a U2 fan, someone who has studied their music and perhaps at times taken bono and his guys too seriously, I couldn't agree more with you. I am from India and if there is one thing that I wish for is that U2 come to India at least once. A very good post and I must congratulate you for giving out such a remarkable insight to those lesser mortals out there, to those who can only try to understand what U2 is all about.

For me, the most interesting point of the YouTube clip is at the very end, after the song is finished and Bono says, quietly, "Thanks for hanging around." Says more than he realizes.
