U2101 – Deep in the Heart
Since the announcement of U2’s Joshua Tree Tour 2017, I’ve been making an attempt to write these articles about songs that are related to The Joshua Tree, even if they didn’t make the final album. One such song is the topic of this week’s article, a B-side from the “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m […]

U2101 – The Darkest Midnight
As I sit down in front of my computer to write this, it is Christmas Day, 2016. Of course, I felt compelled to write about something Christmas-y, but there actually isn’t that much holiday music in U2’s catalog.

U2101 – Do They Know It’s Christmas
Well, it’s that time of year once again. As you read this, Christmas day will be less than a week away, so I thought that I ought to do something to commemorate the occasion. Since I wrote about U2’s pair of Christmas songs a couple of years ago (see here), this year seemed like a […]

U2 rock star Bono had to be rescued by armed police after being caught up in the Bastille Day Nice massacre, it emerged today. The 56-year-old singer was on the terrace of La Petite Maison, next to the seafront in the French city when mass murderer Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel struck. After Bouhlel drove a hired […]
Read MoreHappy Bono’s Birthday!
If you’re in Europe, Bono’s birthday was yesterday. If you’re in the U.S., Bono’s birthday was today. So here’s a brain teaser: If Bono, who lives in Europe, was in the U.S. today (and we believe he was)…then did he celebrate his birthday yesterday or today? Hmmmm… Every year, Bono’s birthday is marked by a […]
Read MoreBono Remembers David Bowie: ‘He Is My Idea of a Rock Star’
I’ve played at being a rock & roll star, but I’m really not one. David Bowie is my idea of a rock star. Right now, I’m in Myanmar, a little cut off from the reaction to David’s passing, but I can assure you the sky is a lot darker here without the Starman. The first […]
