It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. If so, how many words is a U2 tattoo worth, uno, dos, tres, catorce? If you’re like me, you look at most tattoos and say to yourself, “WTF were you thinking?” Most tattooed bodies are more toilet wall than canvas, if you know what […]
Read MoreU2101 – October
Well, the big news this past week was the tour debut, Saturday night, of “October”. I’ve got to be honest, I’m a little surprised that U2 chose to dust this one off, but I think it’s really cool that they did.
Read MoreMy U2 Boston (Innocence +) Experience
I’ve been hearing it for months: “You’ll love seeing them in Boston”…”there’s nothing like seeing U2 in Boston”…”Boston is U2’s favorite city in America.” I believed it – kind of. Now, I get it. I get it! U2 fans in Boston are unlike any U2 fans I’ve seen (of course, before last weekend I had […]
Read MoreInto the Heart of My Child!
To quote the Red Rocker, Sammy Hagar: “What is understood, does not need to be discussed!” Therefore, I will save you from reading another blog about how U2 loves playing Boston, best. My tribe rocked “The Gahhhhden” in Boston #1 and Boston #2 like it’s never been rocked before, but for me, tonight is going […]

“Gloria” was a big surprise at two of the Chicago shows a couple of weeks ago, and I missed writing about it last week, so since nothing really exciting happened this last week, we’ll cover it today.

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 MoreHey GA Line Leader…
Hitler, Stalin, GA Line Leaders…which dictator is/was worse? So, I’m going to U2 in two days and it will be my first time going GA. My nutty U2 friends talked me into it, even though I have no intention of standing one second in the GA line. I’ve already blogged about why I have no […]
Read MorePeople Have the Power
Remember those first few shows, when the Ramones’ “Beat on the Brat” signaled that U2 was about to make their entrance? (To be precise, it was four. What would we do without the good people of U2 Gigs? Without them, I’d just be making stuff up.) This made sense because duh, the Ramones, 1976, The […]
Read MoreU2101 – Where the Streets Have No Name
There are several songs in U2’s repertoire that some fans seem to think should be dropped from the live setlists. Pride (In the Name of Love) is one, as is New Year’s Day. Sunday Bloody Sunday is another one, and people being tired of the song is a major reason for its reinvention on this […]
Read MoreU2 Fan Meet Ups…WTF?
Do people take the U2 fan meet ups, seriously? I mean, we’re having our meet up in less than two weeks and through a few PM’s, DM’s and a few smoke signals, it seems I may have misjudged fan expectations at these things. The few people that know me, know that I am already the […]
