  I'll hide your name inside a word, and I'll paint your eyes with false perception.

  Touch the cow. Do it now.
  

  
  
  not my favorite U2 song by any stretch, but notable for being William S. Burroughs' last filmed appearance.

  Touch the cow. Do it now.
  

  I dunno, but it's undoubtedly something from either War or The Joshua Tree
  
  "Sunday Bloody Sunday" maybe

  You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022

  I was in second grade

  
  

  We took a lot of silly field trips that year

  
  

  Like going to a bagel shop to see how bagels were made

  I was a baby, not even a year old for most of it.
  
  They probably figured out I was autistic/PDD-NOS that year, maybe? I wouldn't know.

  Heh. Technically Eno and U2, but still a good choice.

  For once, or maybe twice, I was in my prime.

  1997 in MetaFour's musical world:

  
  

  Afro Cuban All Stars: "Habana del Este"

  Blue Stingrays: "Brave New World"

  Buena Vista Social Club: "Candela"

  David Byrne: "Miss America"
  

  The Crystal Method: "Cherry Twist"

  Five Iron Frenzy: "Handbook for the Sellout"

  Global Communication: "8 07"

  Rubén González: "Siboney"

  Jars of Clay: "Frail"

  Joy Electric: "Monosynth"

  The KLF (under the alias 2K): "Fuck the Millennium"

  Orbital: "The Sinner"

  Spiritualized®: "Come Together" 

  Squarepusher: "Beep Street"

  Starflyer 59: "The Hearttaker"

  Stereolab: "Miss Modular"

  Switchfoot: "Underwater"

  
  

  Very much retrospective, because I was only 13 in 1997 and mostly listening to junk then.

  ⚠ THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS

  I was stuck at home, didn't have a job (and wasn't really looking because I was like "fuck work" at the time...a luxury I didn't really have :P), and I listened to a lot of adult contemporary and alt-rock radio because DC still didn't have a pop station. :P 

  
  

  If I had to pick one song, it'd be "Semi-Charmed Life" by Third Eye Blind.
