Bono has been made to skip another year-end event that has been a regular for many years. Bono didn’t make it to this years busking session on Dublin’s Grafton Street, and the St. Stephen’s Day races in Leopardstown. Bono has been offline and out of sight since November nursing his injuries from a bike accident in New […]
Read MoreU2101 – U2’s Christmas Songs
Since we’re smack dab in the middle of the year-ending Christmas/New Year’s holiday combo week, I felt that I’d be remiss if I didn’t cover U2’s contributions to the annals of Christmas music.

So what if I like to sometimes stir the U2 pot? Spice things up by turning up the heat, and watch things boil, spilling over the brim. I did such a thing this past week on Twitter and F.B. What I am about to tell you is nothing new or something that hasn’t been discussed amongst U2 […]
Read MoreAnother Time, Another U2 Request
I’m late to the party on the #U2Request hashtag, but for good reason.

Read MoreIris VS. Sometimes: Who Ya Got?
My U2 buddy Jim started a Face Book war this past Monday with his claim that U2’s Sometimes You Can’t Make it on Your Own, Bono’s ode to his father, is “More personal” than Iris, Bono’s ode to his mother. Like all U2 songs, you have to delve deeper and go beyond just the lyrics that […]
