Despite having the reputation for being the quietest, most non-approachable member of U2, Larry Mullen Jr. is responsible for many memorable quotes over the years. My all-time favorite Larry line, and part of which I still use frequently, is from the Achtung Baby documentary that aired on MTV in 1992. Larry said, “I don’t think […]

One of the lessons I have learned on my musical journey on the road with U2 is to never ever leave a concert early. Not that anyone would willingly leave a U2 concert early, but you might feel it is safe to make your way out of the stadium when you see the band walking […]
Read MoreLarry is the Yin to Bono’s Yang
When most people, not us crazy fans, think of U2, they think of Bono. He is considered the face of U2. Various news outlets even refer to U2 as ‘Bono and the Band’ or ‘Bono and the Boys.’ This infuriates me to no end. As Bono himself once said, U2 is like a four-legged table, […]

U2 has made my life what it is today. I am not sure what my life would be if it were not for U2. I am not unique though. Ask any U2 fan, and they will tell you that U2 has changed their life. One of the many things U2 has brought into my life […]

My musical journey of the past 22 years, on the road with U2 from the Zoo Tv tour to the 360 tour, has taken me to many places, introduced to me to great people, and taught me valuable life lessons. Of the 75 U2 concerts I have attended, the second show in Anaheim, California, on […]
