A few weeks back, the Cartoon Network turned into the news when 12 innocent people in France were murdered over a cartoon…. A CARTOON! As the world rallies behind France, I’m still trying to draw some sort of understanding about exactly WTF happened in the country that U2 calls its summer home. Cartoons and U2 have coexisted for decades: The […]
Read MoreRolling Stone Dissed U2….Really?
Is Rolling Stone serious? I mean, I know Rolling Stone hasn’t been Rolling Stone in about 25 years, but are they serious? In a recent “Readers’ Poll”, Rolling Stone listed the top 10 Protest Songs of all time and Sunday Bloody Sunday was nowhere to be found on the list. Really? Isn’t Rolling Stone’s editor a guy […]
Read MoreThe A,B,C’s of Bono’s Letter
For starters, those of you that know me and my writing, know that I am a huge U2 fan, but also am not afraid to call it like it is. The other day we received “The Little Book Of A Big Year” from Bono updating us on the year that was, 2014. On a positive […]
Read MoreMy U2 New Year’s Resolutions!
Is tonight not the most overrated holiday in history? Believe me when I tell you, I don’t need an old year to end and a new one to begin to get drunk out of my mind and to do stupid things. That’s like a weekly thing with me. I do like New Year’s resolutions, however. […]
Read MoreLast Minute U2 Christmas Gifts
Barbara, Santa Barbara Barbara, Santa Barbara Barbara, Santa Barbara Barbara, Santa Barbara Barbara, Santa Barbara Barbara, Santa Barbara Barbara, Santa Barbara Barbara, Santa Barbara Barbara, Santa Barbara Barbara, Santa Barbara I thought it was Santa Clause? 😉 Apparently tomorrow is Christmas & if you’re like me, you haven’t done one ounce of shopping. Do not […]
Read MoreU2 SetList Turned Upside Down
So what if I like to sometimes stir the U2 pot? Spice things up by turning up the heat, and watch things boil, spilling over the brim. I did such a thing this past week on Twitter and F.B. What I am about to tell you is nothing new or something that hasn’t been discussed amongst U2 […]
Read MoreIris VS. Sometimes: Who Ya Got?
My U2 buddy Jim started a Face Book war this past Monday with his claim that U2’s Sometimes You Can’t Make it on Your Own, Bono’s ode to his father, is “More personal” than Iris, Bono’s ode to his mother. Like all U2 songs, you have to delve deeper and go beyond just the lyrics that […]
Read MoreU2 Is A Rock Band, Right?
Am I speaking Swahili? Most question whether I can speak English, but have I not been clear. There is no way….underline NO WAY that U2 is going to do an entire acoustic concert. Bono can run his usual wishy, washy, vague “Different show each night” mumbo jumbo mouth all he wants. IT AIN’T HAPPENING. Not […]
Read MoreIt’s A U2 Christmas!
Well, it looks like Christmas came early this year, didn’t it? Who needs Santa, when we have U2! Those of us lucky enough to get past the pre-sale code nightmare last Thursday or achieve tickets in the general sale, then your Christmas is complete, but those of you that are sweating out tickets & Ticketmaster for the […]
Read MoreThrowback Thursday!
Name me a less productive work day in World History than last Thursday…..YOU CAN’T. The Great Depression here in America back in the 1930’s looked like the early 90’s compared to last Thursday. I mean, was anyone doing any work? I don’t even know if I was at work, it’s all one giant, big blur. […]
