Read MoreU2 9/11 Tributes: A Look Back
I’d like to look back at U2’s 9/11 tribute history with the perspective that 14 years of time can offer. It’s only fitting, right? First there was the telethon-style special, “America: A Tribute to Heroes,” which was broadcast on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox on September 21, 2001. Just 10 days after 9/11, emotions were raw […]

Read MoreU2101 – Angel of Harlem
“Angel of Harlem” has been on my mind a lot lately, because it’s one of those U2 songs with a radio version that only differs in the most subtle ways from the album version – in the case of “Angel of Harlem”, the difference seems to me to be that the horns are just a […]
