Read MoreU2101 – One
Music comes from funny places. The song “One” is a good example. For a song that came from a tumultuous period in the life of U2, it has come to represent unity, acceptance, and tolerance in a way that the four members of U2 might have found hard to believe when the song was birthed.
Read MoreU2: One 4 the Books!
Cedarwood: A fairytale of Innocence, have you seen this yet? Two authors, who were probably inspired by U2’s ability to morph their way into the world’s Ipod, are set to morph their way into libraries around the world this week with this children’s book, sporting young U2 characters. This “stories for boys” and girl’s is […]
Read MoreEven Better Than The Real Thing, Embrace it!
You know, there are days when I think that everything I see on TV isn’t real. I’m sure that right now, you’re probably thinking about how dumb that is, stating the obvious. But the truth is that I’m letting you in on an inside joke. For every Friday night since I can remember (okay, *almost* […]
Read MoreU2 Concert Crowds: Europe vs. America
Having grown up in the original MTV generation, I used to think European concert fans showed up American concert fans on every possible level. Who remembers being a kid, teen, or young adult of the 80s, watching the festivals at Castle Donnington or Wembley Stadium on MTV? (Raise your hand. Okay, put it down.) Like […]

Read MoreU2101 – Magnificent
Unlike most U2 fans I talk to, I actually like “Get On Your Boots”. It’s fun and funky and a little bit rockin’ and it scratches a very particular itch for me and my taste in music. I do agree with most fans, however, that it was a poor choice for first single in support […]

Read MoreU2’s Ticket Pecking Order!
Talk about payback! U2 just kicked the collective world in the blarney stones for a little racism thrown at their ancestors, way back in the mid 1840’s, 50’s, 60’s….. and, well, you get the point. Bono and the boys took the “Irish, need not apply” sign and just stuck it in the moment that you […]
