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 […]

First there was the telethon-style special, “America: A Tribute to Heroes,” which was broadcast on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox on September 21, 2001. Just 10 days after 9/11, emotions were raw […]
