U2101 – The Darkest Midnight
As I sit down in front of my computer to write this, it is Christmas Day, 2016. Of course, I felt compelled to write about something Christmas-y, but there actually isn’t that much holiday music in U2’s catalog. I’ve already written about the two Christmas songs that U2 has recorded as a band, and last […]

U2101 – Do They Know It’s Christmas
Well, it’s that time of year once again. As you read this, Christmas day will be less than a week away, so I thought that I ought to do something to commemorate the occasion. Since I wrote about U2’s pair of Christmas songs a couple of years ago (see here), this year seemed like a […]

A Very U2 Christmas, 2016 Edition
Since there’s not much going on with U2 this Christmas that doesn’t involve food tech startups and Omaze contests, this is the perfect time to update my wildly popular (sure it was!) “A Very U2 Christmas” post from last year. Put your pink-Adam-in-a-Santa-hat sticker on your (RED) shirt, pour some Irish cream in your coffee […]

U2101 – Stranded (Haiti Mon Amour)
Each week, I try to find a U2 or U2-related song to write about that goes along with the type of music that I’ve been listening to that week, even if what I’ve been listening to isn’t U2. Fortunately, my favorite band has a wonderfully diverse catalog, so no matter what I’ve been playing on […]

U2101 – A Man and a Woman
When How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb was first released, I immediately fell in love with quite a few of its songs – songs like “City of Blinding Lights”, “All Because of You”, and even “One Step Closer to Knowing” tickled my fancy with the very first hearing. There was one song on the album, […]

Bono and More Stars Sing a Special Tune With Jimmy Kimmel
What’s a serenade without a few stars? Jimmy Kimmel’s audience got some unforgettable entertainment Thursday night from Hollywood’s finest, including Channing Tatum, Julia Roberts, Bono, and Neil Patrick Harris, who were gathered around the piano during the host’s recurring (RED) episode to raise awareness and money for AIDS. While sipping on martinis and clad in […]

U2101 – Breathe
I still remember the week building up to the release of No Line On The Horizon. I was, of course, neck-deep in U2, excitedly following the news, and downloading and listening to each and every one of their promotional appearances. It was one of those promotional appearances – I think the one from February 23, […]

Thank You, Achtung Baby!
Someday I’ll write my full U2 story, as some of you have done so beautifully – but for right now, I’ll just write the part that involves Achtung Baby. Not just because it’s the 25th anniversary of this incredible album, but also because it’s the most important part of my U2 story. It’s the part […]
