Not just Epic….VERY EPIC! That is what the king of hyperbole is calling U2’s next CD, Songs of Experience…VERY EPIC! Let’s add that to the list of catch paraphrases that Bono has used for past U2 releases, such as: “It’s an experiment in experimentation” for Pop to “Emmmm, we’re not too sure how this will […]
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 […]
Read MoreBono has taken a Megabyte!
Bono is going for the ultimate connection….7 billion people. The world hasn’t seen a connection of this magnitude since Caligula’s last Roman orgy. Bono & Facebook guru, Mark Zuckerberg are hatching some plot & scheming some scheme to get the entire world to simultaneously zone out and waste more time, by getting the entire planet […]
Read MoreThis Just In: Bono Isn’t God!
Breaking news! Bono, as it turns out, is a human being from Dublin, Ireland born Paul David Hewson in May 1960. Why is this a newsworthy revelation?

Read MoreOne boy washed up!
DAMN YOU, U2! Once again, U2 has punched my conscience into tears by changing the lyrics of Pride. “One boy washed up on an empty beach” has resonated in my soul has that one line echoing in my head. The current refugee issue in Europe has stirred the continent into a frenzy. Are you going […]

When I first started obsessing over U2
When I first started obsessing over U2—and by that, I mean the point where I actually cared enough about them to know what they look like other than Bono’s sunglasses—I was convinced that I did not want to like Bono. Well, that’s probably too strong of a statement. I wanted to like Bono. I wanted […]
Read MoreWhen Bono Met Tony; Tony Fenton last Interview (audio)
Dublin’s Today FM aired the interview between the late Tony Fenton and Bono, which took place last January at the Dublin home Bono. During the interview, Bono admitted that his favorite tour was PopMart and stated that he was interested in writing a book about the psychology of being an artist. Tony and Bono reminisced about their youth in […]
Read MoreUntil The End Of The World
Originally, for the next lyrics post, I was going to cover Where The Streets Have No Name. But when I woke up the day before Easter, I was up too early and couldn’t get back to sleep, so I checked U2 Radio just for the heck of it and saw a post on Until The […]

Know Your Bonoisms, Part 24: Bono the Broheim
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, […]
