Yes, that’s right. Not Larry Mullen the drummer, but Larry Mullen the hugger. To hug is to clasp or hold closely, especially in the arms, as in affection; embrace. And a Deena Dishes on LARRYhugger is someone who enjoys hugging, and who hugs as often as possible. U2’s supposedly shyest, least public member, the one […]
Read MoreLarry Mullen, the actor?
When you hear the name Larry Mullen, you think drummer. The first association that you make is not actor, but over the past few years, that is what Larry Mullen has become, in addition to his day job as U2’s drummer and founding member. Larry has never been the guy out in front, he is […]
Read MoreDid you know Larry is a vegetarian?
Did you know Larry Mullen Jr is a vegetarian? I am not sure why, but I keep forgetting that. In 2006, Larry was nominated for Sexiest Vegetarian, but he lost to Kristen Bell.

Read MoreIt’s All About Drums – U2’s top 10
Larry Mullen is the heart of U2, the beat of the band. All I hear when I listen to music, especially U2 music, are drums and lyrics. That’s all I need to be happy. I think that is why I am in the minority among U2 fans claiming October as one of my favorite U2 albums – […]

If you know me, you know I love Larry Mullen. If you don’t know me, I am the woman at the U2 show wearing my Larry Mullen Band shirt staring at the drummer while everyone else is looking at the lead singer. Yeah that’s me. My love for Larry began 27 years ago, and I […]
