It’s been awhile since I’ve done a Bonoism, and it’s high time I did one about Bono just being a dude (or…bloak? Or is that just an English thing?) When he’s not lobbying for better retroviral drugs in Africa, gravely injuring himself or attending a seemingly endless string of weddings and funerals all over Europe, […]
Read MoreDo you hold on to those precious pre-sale codes waiting for Dublin dates to be announced or do you use them before all shows announced are sold out? That is the $64,000 question. You want me to speculate why U2 hasn’t announced any dates for Dublin, the mecca of all thing U2? Ok, I will. […]
Read MoreLike a lot of great U2 songs, “Raised By Wolves” doesn’t explicitly spell out an exact meaning. Rather, it allows itself to be interpreted a variety of different ways, depending on the listener and what’s going on in their life at the time.

We’re kind of in a limbo-state right now, hovering between the rush of excitement that comes with the release of a new album and the immediate flurry of activity that goes with its promotion, and the daily updates that accompany a tour in progress.

Read MoreSeriously, would you pay good money to take your head out of the mud and take a good, long whiff of some “Bono”fide gas? Kanye West fans are doing just that on Ebay. Currently, there are $5 bids to smell Kayne’s hot air? Which hole the hot air came out of Kanye is not known […]
Read MoreAli Hewson has been active this week in raising awareness for both the poverty of women around the world and for Chernobyl Children International (CCI). While at the events she was asked how Bono, was doing after his bike spill back in November in New York City. “He’s doing great, he really is. He’s got another […]
