"Are you joking?"

As the "love it/hate it/it'll grow on you" commentary on "Boots" continues, kudos to whoever on U2Start had the idea to go way back in Usenet archives and dig up some fan reactions from 1991 to "The Fly." My fave: "If 'The Fly' is any indication of the rest of Achtung Baby and U2's musical direction, I think we can fashion 4 caskets, and label them: Bono, Edge, Adam, and Larry. U2 is dead. What an unimaginative piece of garbage."
