Love, religion, sex, drug use, betrayal, church, politics….name me a theme that U2 fans haven’t discussed at length….I’ll give you one….Trash! That’s right, Trash. Now, I know most of you think that most of my blog posts are trash and usually you’re not too far off, but today I want to discuss the theme of trash, intelligently. I’m not […]
Read MoreThe Edge will be on Feedback Kitchen with Mario Batali January 26th
Coming January 26th EXCLUSIVELY to Dailymotion. The Edge, Flea, Josh Groban, Patti Smith, and Perry and Etty Farrell sit down with Mario Batali in the Feedback Kitchen to discuss creativity, creation and the similarities between food and music. I’m assuming this was filmed last year and is just now being made public exclusively via DailyMotion […]
Read MoreWhy U2? #47 – Their Gratitude
I’ve heard and read a lot of reasons over the years that people have for hating U2, especially Bono, but none of them have ever been that the band were rude or anything less than gracious in person. It must get old to not be able to leave the house without being pestered for autographs […]
Read MoreWhere does U2 Rank In Your Life?
So my 7 year old son asked me the other day, “Do you love me?” He loves to get me going with these ridiculous questions that he knows the answers to, but the other day he followed it up with another question that took me quite by surprise…”Do you love me more than U2?” After […]
Read MoreU2 is Pretentious: So What?
Now that a movie with 90% of its title in parenthesis has been nominated for an Academy Award, this is the perfect time to discuss that unshakable idea about U2 that seems embedded in the public consciousness: that they are the consummate example of what it means to be pretentious. Here’s why that movie and […]

Read MoreU2101 – Your Blue Room
I’m not sure why, but the Passengers album has been on my mind lately. Although it’s not technically a U2 record, I hope that no one will object if I talk a little about it today. The first time I ever heard Passengers, I was in my buddy Travis’s car, late at night in a […]
Read MoreCharlie Hebdo and U2’s Cartoon World
A few weeks back, the Cartoon Network turned into the news when 12 innocent people in France were murdered over a cartoon…. A CARTOON! As the world rallies behind France, I’m still trying to draw some sort of understanding about exactly WTF happened in the country that U2 calls its summer home. Cartoons and U2 have coexisted for decades: The […]
Read MoreWhy U2? #46 – Their Failures
I have a pretty clear memory of the first time I viewed the Pop*Mart Live From Mexico concert on VHS, particularly the part right before “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For”. Bono was thanking the audience for sticking with the band, talking about their motivations for making an album like Pop (which I […]
Read MoreRolling Stone Dissed U2….Really?
Is Rolling Stone serious? I mean, I know Rolling Stone hasn’t been Rolling Stone in about 25 years, but are they serious? In a recent “Readers’ Poll”, Rolling Stone listed the top 10 Protest Songs of all time and Sunday Bloody Sunday was nowhere to be found on the list. Really? Isn’t Rolling Stone’s editor a guy […]
