U2 Forever

I agreed with Robert Hilburn that the U2 shows of late reflected added intensity and spirit compared with the April shows--and I wouldn’t have thought that was possible (“Joy Makes a Return,” Dec. 16). My two U2 concert experiences this year were joyous, uplifting and redemptive. To remain connected with a band like U2 at age 44 gives me great hope for rock music.
