According to Ali, Bono is “On the mend” and will be ready for the tour opener in two months. In all seriousness, don’t we have to take Ali’s word with a grain of salt? I’m all for the power of positive thinking and do believe that Bono will be ready, but do you really believe […]
Read MoreBono on the mend, will be ready for the tour opener
Ali Hewson has been active this week in raising awareness for both the poverty of women around the world and for Chernobyl Children International (CCI). While at the events she was asked how Bono, was doing after his bike spill back in November in New York City. “He’s doing great, he really is. He’s got another […]
Read MoreBono Draws His Line!
Word on the street from U2’s PR machine a week ago was that Bono was NOT going to show up to the 50 anniversary of the infamous march that began in Selma, Alabama. Anybody who thinks Bono was not going to the march because he’s still too injured from his bike riding incident, raise your […]
Read MoreU2’s Face Lift?
What’s in worse physical shape at this moment, Bono or the Joshua Tree? The latest destruction to the Joshua Tree being uprooted is despicable….. but it’s gotta be Bono, right? I mean, have you seen Bono lately? Sure, he looks great not having his humerous hanging out of his ear, but have you looked closely […]
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 MoreIs Bono A Hero?
As I sit here in the afterglow of a Superbowl win by the New England Patriots, my seven year old son stated that Tom Brady was a hero of his. I thought that maybe he was high on Tom Brady because of their 4th SuperBowl win and decided to pursue the conversation. When I asked […]

Read MoreKnow Your Bonoisms, Part 21: Would Bono Do a Reality Show?
That’s a big NO. I read that he was asked that once and answered in the negative, but if you Google “Bono reality show” now, you’ll find nothing but a full page of Chaz Bono reality show stories. But trust me on this: He won’t do it. Regardless, it’s fun to imagine the potential titles and possible […]
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 […]
