If you’re in Europe, Bono’s birthday was yesterday. If you’re in the U.S., Bono’s birthday was today.

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 […]

Read MoreVERY EPIC!?
Not just Epic….VERY EPIC! That is what the king of hyperbole is calling U2’s next CD, Songs of Experience…VERY EPIC!

Read MoreAmerica’s an Idea?
“America’s not a country, America’s an idea!” Interestingly enough, when Bono yells these words through his megaphone as more and more bullets are flying through our red, white and blue skies, he’s sitting comfortably behind his barricade of wealth. I can see his private planes red, orange glow, as I’m running scared in the valley […]
