U2's "I Will Follow" irritated Replacements frontman Paul Westerberg so badly that he wrote two songs about it. The first was "Kids Don't Follow," the second was "I Will Dare." Westerberg saw U2 perform at Uncle Sam's nightclub in Minneapolis in April 1981 on the backend of U2's first international tour. Named the Boy Tour in promotion of the band's first studio album, it started September 6, 1980, and ended June 9, 1981. U2 played "I Will Follow" twice the night Westerberg saw them.
