Read MoreU2 VidWorks – The Saints Are Coming
2005 was a bit of a messed up year, especially for those unfortunate souls living in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. Hurricane Katrina landed that year, and to many observers, it seemed that the federal government was not very concerned with trying to help the victims of that natural disaster. It should come as no surprise […]
Read MoreU2101 – Another Day
One of U2’s most under-appreciated songs, in my opinion, is the A-side from the early single, Another Day. Really, this song has all the hallmarks of early U2 — a soaring chorus, intricate guitar work, a catchy, bouncing bass-line, some vigorous and dynamic drumming, a little punk-rock aggression tempered with pop-rock melodic sweetness — I […]

Read MoreUp, Periscope
So, have you been following the U2 shows on Periscope? Of course, you have. What’s better than being in Europe, watching a grainy U2 show from half way around the world at 3:00 AM and being an absolute zombie the following day? Nothing! In the tech world that we now live in, it’s now possible […]

So I invited my boy, Guy Oseary to Boston in July for a little sit down, a pow wow, a meeting of the two biggest super powers in U2’s camp, alright…one super power & the other, a pathetic, little unknown blogger, to straighten all this nonsense out. Incredibly, I have yet to hear back from […]

Read MoreHow Can U2 Thank Their Fans? Here’s An Idea
Have you ever wished U2 would hold more interactive fan incentives – as in, events that reward hardcore devotees like ourselves? As in, events where we get to…I don’t know…meet them? I know there are a few of you out there who can say you’ve met one or more of the guys in person, but […]

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 MoreU2 Lessons for the New Year
Happy new year, fellow U2 fans! As I’m sitting at LAX awaiting a flight to New York City, I’m praying that all will be quiet on New Year’s Day and the days leading up to it – no protests, no violence, no deadly attacks on innocent police officers or innocent people, period. That seems like a reasonable […]
