'Achtung Baby'

Am I the only human who doesn't like U2 and Paul Newman?

Not very interesting story about this album: Freshman year of high school (around 1994) and in my algebra I class is one Johnny Newman -- a hulk of a guy, a year older and son of the assistant principal, known as the enforcer of the school's administration.

But the guy listens to U2 (listens ... he loved U2) and even talks to a nerd like me. Ends up loaning me this cassette tape and I basically listen to "Mysterious Ways" a dozen times and then return it.

That was probably my only interaction with Johnny Newman. I wonder if he remembers it as well as I do.
