    Having listened to this episode recently, as well as seeing video of U2 play early tracks (I Will Follow, Gloria, Out of Control) on the i&e tour, I demand a track by track discussion of Boy. They wouldn't shut up about how dated some of the record is, and sure it is. But it's really good! Besides I Will Follow & Out of Control (the two songs they played) Electric Co, Stories for Boys (they ended the ep with the single version), Boy/Girl (from the first EP), Twilight, An Cat Dubh, and 11 O'clock Tick Tock are all great. I would love to hear the bros go back over this forgotten gem like they did with the other records.

    She's beautiful, but the Lovable Lads from Liverpool should think about giving their special-guest Lady Gaga a T-shirt.

    Actually, Lady Gaga was wearing a U2 t-shirt to have a bit of a laugh, and Bono was like "Uh, excuse me but uh, we need to sell that to make some extra money to buy Edge some gourmet doughnuts for his breakfast. Might as well sell your shorts too, y'know taxes in New York are pretty high." (Imagine Bono saying this in Scott's spot on Irish accent). So they took the everything, including the fuckin T-shirt off her back.

    I would like Scott to give me his personal phone number and trust that I would keep it to myself and not text him incessantly. I am not a psycho and would not cause Scott the inconvenience of making him get a new phone number. All I would do is say "good ep" or "great ep" whenever I enjoy his content. Perhaps a question or two every once in a while if there's a reference I don't understand.

    (For some reason my phone accidentally posted the reply before I finished)

    I think that it is ridiculously funny that they say "sexy boots" because of how little sense it makes, and they throw it in the middle of an album that has an intense feel to it. Sure it doesn't fit, but at least it showed some sort of light-heartedness. I will admit, that song prevented the success of the album as a whole.

    What if we lived in a world where "Invisible" was the single to NLOTH and Get on Your Boots was maybe worked on a little longer, rewrote and made into what Invisble was, the appetizer to Songs of Innocence.

    Sexy Boots for life.

    I've also found this ridiculous article that ranks 'Get On Your Boots' as their 37th best song, and Original Of The Species as their 2nd to worst song http://radio.com/2014/10/10/every-u2-song-ranked/

    Plus a bunch of other crazy stuff

    This list is insane, but honestly Get on Your Boots does not deserve all the flack. If you remember the NLOTH ep, the Scotts liked the opening riff (which is most of the song, and granted a tad repetitive) and they like the chorus (the "you don't know" "you don't get it do you"). It's a catchy song, and enjoyable if the lyrics don't ruin it for you. I, for one, think
