One of my teenagers is addicted to Buzzfeed quizzes – the ones that are so pointless they can’t possibly be good for society, but are also so thoughtfully niche that it’s actually hard to label them as stupid. They run the gamut from “Test Your Knowledge of Lesser-Known Disney Villains” to “What Do Your Favorite […]
Read MoreU2101 – Until the End of the World
One song that I could have covered on any of the band’s tours over the last twenty years is “Until the End of the World”, which was originally released in 1991 as part of Achtung Baby.
Read MoreU2’s Flag is Getting Higher!
We’ve all pledged allegiance to U2 somewhere along the way over the past 35 years, but here in America, U2’s fight for justice has never felt more F*cking Awesome than in the past week.

Read MoreU2101 – 40
As we continue to cover songs that are receiving nightly love on the Innocence + Experience Tour, I thought that this week we’d cover one of the oldest songs that U2 are currently playing, “40”.
Read MoreUp, Periscope
So, have you been following the U2 shows on Periscope? Of course, you have. What’s better than being in Europe, watching a grainy U2 show from half way around the world at 3:00 AM and being an absolute zombie the following day? Nothing! In the tech world that we now live in, it’s now possible […]
Read MoreU2 Rehab
Has anyone out there in U2 land even considered what the f*ck they’re going to do “The Day After”? Sure, everyone’s hyped up for their particular show(s), but it’s the carnage that occurs afterwards that no one likes to talk about. I mean, somewhere in the recesses of your mind, the thought of absolute terror, […]
Read MoreU2101 – The Hands That Built America
I had a little bit of trouble deciding what song to cover this week – Saturday night’s big surprise, “Lucifer’s Hands” was already covered a few weeks ago, there really weren’t any other big debuts this past week.
