Tomorrow being Thanksgiving here in the United States, I thought it would be the perfect time to say what I am thankful for in the U2 world. I am thankful for… U2 introducing me to a map. Without U2, I would probably still think that Sarajevo, El Salvador & Burma were cigars rather than places. Making NLOTH. Without this bomb, […]
Read MoreWhy U2 #39 – The Songs
I was thinking last night about my “Why U2?” series of articles, and it occurred to me that I had yet to write about one of the biggest and most obvious reasons that I love U2, and that is the songs. I mean, really, that’s what it all boils down to, isn’t it? The songs; […]
Read MoreU2 Confessional Is Now Open!
I haven’t prayed this much since eighth grade Pre-Algebra. I’m hopeful however, that these prayers will get answered. Hey, since we’re all praying for Bono’s speedy recovery, U2radio.com wants to reopen the U2radio.com U2 confessional. It’s been several months since our last confessional and quite frankly, you people disgust me with your sinful ways. So, […]
Read MoreKnow Your Bonoisms, Part 19: Being Bono Full Time
All day, I planned to write a column that was solemn, somber and appropriately hysterical about the news that Bono’s condition was much more serious than originally reported. After all, there’s a big difference between a broken arm and a facial fracture involving the orbit of his eye, three separate fractures of his left shoulder blade […]
Read MoreThe Week in U2 – 11/14 – 11/20
For the second week in a row, U2 fans world-wide suffered a Bono related health scare this past week. This time, however, it turned out to be a little more than a scare, as Bono’s most recent bike accident caused some pretty serious damage that required extensive surgery to repair. If you haven’t heard, the […]
Read MoreNo Bono line on the Band Aid Horizon!
New plague means a new version of Band Aid’s, Do They Know it’s Christmas Time. Nothing says holiday gift like Ebola. As Ebola rips its way through Western Africa and into the psyche of the world, you knew Band Aid couldn’t be too far behind, right? Like you, I watched the original on MTV & […]
Read MoreWhy U2 #38 – Christianity
It’s no secret to regular readers of my articles that I’m an atheist. Some have commented in the past on how unusual it is for someone who believes that there’s no god to be a fan of a band that references God in every other song, the singer of which has even publicly even proclaimed […]
Read MoreGermany: Bad Luck for Bono?
In the past 48 hours, something has become very clear: If Bono wants to live, he must avoid Germany at all costs. It’s been four years since Bono broke his back in Deutschland, after which he was treated by the famed Dr. Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt (see a fun comment on his name here around the 4:52 mark), forcing the […]
Read MoreSpecial Edition – What Happens When There’s No More U2?
I’m going to depart from my regular schedule a little bit this week – normally, I’d be writing this week’s “U2101” right about now, but there’s something else on my mind tonight that I wanted to talk about. (If you enjoy U2101, don’t worry – it’ll be back next week.) What I’m thinking about today […]
Read MoreThe U2 Challenge!
My good friend @U2threechords on Twitter challenged his followers the other day to unleash their collective brain power and decipher a few U2 anagrams. Needless to say, Twitter hell was unleashed and answers came flying in worldwide. Not really, it was me and two others, but it was a lot of fun, so I am […]
