Seriously, where are they? First, they’re not at the Grammys; clearly, Guy Oseary’s people placed a call to the Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences that went something like this: “Best rock album.

Read MoreU2’s Wall of Fame!
Somewhere in Dublin below the noise & din, but above the noise & hurt you can find “The Wall.” To a passerby that may have spent the last forty years in a coma, “The Wall” probably looks like the ramblings of a crystal meth addict, a physical graffiti (remember them?) artist having an epileptic fit, […]

Why U2? #51 – They’re Literate
Don’t you love how literate U2 is? This goes all the way back to their first album, Boy, where they referenced Oscar Wilde in “The Ocean” and William Golding’s Lord of the Flies with the title of the album’s final cut, “Shadows and Tall Trees”. A few years later, on War, “40” quoted the Bible, […]
Read MoreWho the Heck is this, Roger Johnson?
1st Bono pretended to play Jesus to the lepers in our head, then Judas…..now….ROGER JOHNSON! This cat & mouse game that Bono plays with his fan base is both sinister and diabolical all rolled up into one random Twitter account and I LOVE IT. I can’t get enough, I won’t get enough. Is it true […]

Read MoreFinal Word on the Grammy’s!
911? Yes, I’d like to report a crime. Is sodomy still on the books in California? Seriously, how many more times can U2 be ramrodded before we call 911? First, the Oscar fiasco, now the Grammy’s! Didn’t U2 just add a 17th show in L.A.? Doesn’t U2 have a song named after the state that […]

Why U2? #50 – They’re Great Winners
As I write this, the Grammys will be airing in just a few hours. Despite all of our hopes, it seems pretty clear by this point that U2 will not be performing this year.
Read MoreDear Grammy Awards
Dear Mr. Grammy: I hope all is well with your friend, Mr. Oscar, since last year’s surgery to remove his head from his ass for choosing “Let it Go,” a song for an animated picture, as opposed to our Ordinary Love, a lyrical masterpiece about one of the most influential historical figures of all time, […]
