For the second week in a row, U2 fans world-wide suffered a Bono related health scare this past week.

Read MoreNo Bono line on the Band Aid Horizon!
New plague means a new version of Band Aid’s, Do They Know it’s Christmas Time. Nothing says holiday gift like Ebola. As Ebola rips its way through Western Africa and into the psyche of the world, you knew Band Aid couldn’t be too far behind, right? Like you, I watched the original on MTV & […]
Read MoreWhy U2 #38 – Christianity
It’s no secret to regular readers of my articles that I’m an atheist. Some have commented in the past on how unusual it is for someone who believes that there’s no god to be a fan of a band that references God in every other song, the singer of which has even publicly even proclaimed […]
