"I read an article in the Irish version of The Times about the band U2 being together for 50 years now, dating back to their first gathering as a group in drummer Larry Mullen’s kitchen, on September 25, 1976. They were literal kids then — all of them still in school — and years away from releasing their first recordings, much less becoming the globe-spanning rock icons they would eventually become, and certainly the biggest rock group Ireland ever produced."

"But all things have to start somewhere, and all the principals of U2 seem to agree that September 25, 1976 is where the band begins. Good for U2, by the way; I’m a fan of the band, so I’m glad they’ve stuck it out as a group. It’s rare to have a rock group of any sort keep all the same members all the way through their run. And they all apparently still mostly like each other! Which is even better. Well done, lads."

"The band marking 50 years as a band got me thinking of anniversaries of my own, in terms of my own career, and whether I would, as long as I am not hit by bus/eaten by a bear/etc, be likely to hit the 50th anniversary mark with any of them. U2 has gotten to 50, but that’s because they dated their career to their very first gathering, not, say, their first performance, or their first released recordings, or even the debut of their first album, Boy, which happened in October 1980. I feel reasonably sure the band might hit all those marks — October 2030 is only four years and one month away — but they’re not there yet. If the band breaks up between now and October 2030, the album will hit that 50 year mark, but they won’t (don’t worry, even if they did break up now they should collectively be fine; the net worth of the band is in the neighborhood of a billion dollars. That’ll split nicely)."
