Normally, I’d be sitting down about now to write my weekly U2101 article. Actually, scratch that – I would have already written it several hours ago, but somehow today I just can’t seem to find the motivation. It doesn’t seem right for me to act like nothing out of the ordinary happened this past week […]
Read MoreParis, Walk On

We pray for healing, peace, and safe travels for all U2 fans in and around Paris. The Saturday U2 iNNOCENCE+ eXPERIENCE show has officially been canceled. Via U2.com: As a result of the […]
Read MoreBono’s new scarf!
As if U2 didn’t love Boston enough, have you seen that Bono has teamed up with the bad boys of Boston, Aerosmith! That’s right, Steven Tyler says, Walk this Way and Bono does just that. You know what says, “Aerosmith” more than Steven Tyler’s huge lips and their great rock sound….his trademark mic scarf. For […]
Read MoreU2101 – Bad
Today I am writing about what I believe to be the greatest song ever recorded – U2’s “Bad”, from The Unforgettable Fire. When I was in college, I once wrote an essay about this song for a class, and I was never quite happy with what I turned in. It’s bugged me for years, so […]
Read MoreBono’s Atomic Bomb!
Your Spanish Eyes will not believe this! Listen, I thought I’ve seen it all in regards to U2, but this takes the sh*t, I mean, cake. Spain is bringing in the heat for this holiday season by producing a Christmas ornament of Bono dropping an atomic bomb. I don’t want this, I NEED THIS hanging […]
Read MoreU2101 – All I Want is You
One characteristic of Apple’s iTunes program that I really like is the fact that it keeps track of how many times each song has been played by an Apple product (such as an iPhone or an iPad). It is because of this aspect of the program that I am able to report that today’s featured […]
Read MoreDid U2 Morph into Kiss?
And here I thought that U2 had turned into some 21st century tree hugging environmentalists? Have you heard about this, “commemorative ticket?” Remember back in the day, you’d just shove that creased up old, grubby ticket stub in a ratty, old shoebox and forget about it….forever, me too, but now we have the Internet and […]
Read MoreOctober: The loss of innocence, the feeling of growing up
This is my second October as a U2 fan and my last October before I turn 21. This is my last month as a twenty-year-old, and even though I find that idea exciting, for some reason, I also find it a little scary. Maybe it’s because I’m realizing that adulthood is catching up with me. […]
Read MoreU2 gets “BUS”TED!
All aboard the party bus! Have you seen this, a party bus, U2 style! U2 & Apple launched “The Experience Bus” this past week in London where fans can come aboard and experience U2’s, “Song for Someone” in virtual reality. Quite the innovative way to “experience” a song from the group that were around when […]

Know Your Bonoisms, Part 19 – Forgotten U2 Song Lyrics
Well, we made it. We’re at Bono’s magic number na-na-na-nineteen and it’s time to talk about lyrics. When I first got active in the U2 fan community, my Twitter handle was @U2LyricsDaily1. That’s because I wanted to post lyrics every day and @U2Lyrics was taken. Well, it didn’t take long for me to decide that […]
