U2 fans weigh in on "Vertigo"

Your host is quoted in this collection of reactions to the new U2 song from @U2. There are also plausible lyrics up on the site, though I definitely vote for "I can't stand [rather than "can sell"] the beats," and I'm currently partial to the notion that the line at the beginning is not "I'm feeling so much stronger than I thought," but instead a direct follow-up to the line that precedes it: "Your head can't rule your heart/A feeling's so much stronger than a thought."
[Update: Just so you won't be confused if you go to the site, apparently sometime between the time I originally posted this and Sat AM, the @U2 lyrics gurus decided they basically agree with me on the second one.]
