The fans behind the #U2Request movement won’t stop until they’ve found what they’re looking for, and what they’re looking for is an unexpected song to be on the set list for every show on the tour, starting with when U2 hits the stage in Vancouver on May 14.

Read MoreBono Draws His Line!
Word on the street from U2’s PR machine a week ago was that Bono was NOT going to show up to the 50 anniversary of the infamous march that began in Selma, Alabama. Anybody who thinks Bono was not going to the march because he’s still too injured from his bike riding incident, raise your […]
Read MoreStuck in a U2 Moment
I had another one of those moments this week – a moment when my U2 fandom shows just a little too much. It can be very isolating when everyone around you cannot for the life of them fathom the concept of seeing the same band multiple nights in a row, much less knowing facts about […]

Read MoreU2: 1 Hit Wonders?
Imagine my surprise when an old friend called me up the other day to congratulate me for my N.E. Pats. Keep in mind, this is a guy I haven’t spoken to in over 25 years. After some general pleasantries, we began to share things about ourselves and he asked if I had any major plans […]

Read MoreU2’s Face Lift?
What’s in worse physical shape at this moment, Bono or the Joshua Tree? The latest destruction to the Joshua Tree being uprooted is despicable….. but it’s gotta be Bono, right? I mean, have you seen Bono lately? Sure, he looks great not having his humerous hanging out of his ear, but have you looked closely […]
Read MoreKnow Your Bonoisms, Part 23: Bono’s Childhood Peeps
Did Mick Jagger give his childhood best friend an amazing dream job with a lofty title? I don’t think so. Did Springsteen? Well, maybe – that seems quite plausible. What I do know is that Bono did.
