Read MoreNotable Shows – Honolulu ’06
This week’s notable show comes from the Vertigo Tour. It’s last show, in fact, which took place on the 9th of December, 2006, in the beautiful state of Hawaii. I remember the atmosphere as being one of celebration – The Vertigo tour had been fraught from the beginning, with several postponements, controversies over ticket sales, […]
Read MoreU2 101 – Staring at the Sun
Of course, like all U2 fans, my mind is on the ongoing saga concerning the long-awaited 13th album. Is it delayed, or isn’t it? What if it never comes out – does that mean the band will never tour again? I don’t need to rehash the whole painful debacle for you, but it did get […]
Read MoreWhy U2? – Reason #3
#3 – If you’re paying attention, you can really get to know them. A week or so ago, I was prepping for the Oscars by reviewing some of U2’s award show appearances, and while I was watching Bono’ acceptance speech for Album of the Year at the ’88 Grammys, I was moved by some of […]

Read MoreWhy U2? – Reason #2
#2 – They never repeat themselves. My mom isn’t what I’d consider a U2 fan, but she’s kind enough to keep up with the band because she knows how important they are to me. The last time we spoke, about a week or so ago, she mentioned to me that she’s always amazed at U2’s […]
Read MoreSurprises from the Academy Awards
Two surprising developments concerning U2 tonight from the Academy Awards. The first, and most pleasant of the two, was the acoustic arrangement of Ordinary Love, after Bono indicated a couple of weeks ago that the Oscars performance would be different from that performed on the Tonight Show. My guess is that the Tonight Show performance […]

You’ve been naughty, haven’t you? We saw what you did with the trash, trampoline and party girl. Shame! It’s time to repent. Step into the U2 confessional and confess your funny, craziest, wackiest, sinful U2 ways and go into the weekend cleansed. Mine: While home alone the other day, I was pretending to be […]
Read MoreU2’s History with Award Shows.
This weekend, U2 are once again hoping to fill that Oscar shaped hole in their award cabinet at the 86th annual Academy Awards, in Hollywood, USA. The last time our guys were up for an Oscar was 11 years ago, when U2’s “The Hands That Built America” lost to Eminem’s “Lose Yourself”. As far as […]
