I'll follow up with another hello.
I'm Don, and I have been visiting this site for many, many years. Aaron brought me on staff a few years back, and since then I have been writing articles (the "5 Albums" series, etc.) and helping with editing, news, social media, etc. I've been a U2 fan since 87 when The Joshua Tree knocked me off my feet. It's still my favorite album by any band, ever. I haven't seen the band live as much as I'd like. In fact, I missed the JT30 Tour because U2 skipped Denver. I joined some other guys on a road trip to see JT30 in St. Louis--and the show was canceled! 1700 miles for nothing. I'm a huge music geek, and outside of U2 some of my favorite groups are Rush, REM, Midnight Oil, Peter Gabriel, a-ha, Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode, Icehouse, Afro Celt Sound System, and many Realworld Records artists, to name just a few.
