Just read the most fabulous rumor on Bonophile's Vox!!!!

The new U2 album is due to be released on 11/18/08.

Hmm.  That seems about right.  Just in time for Christmas gift giving!

Hey!  That's only FOUR months from today exactly.  LOL!!!

WooooooHooooooooooooooooooooooo!

If you had to go on a two-week vacation with any celebrity, who would you pick as your traveling companion and where would you go?

Vox, you make it sound like a chore when you ask 'If you had to go...'

I'd want to go with any member of U2!  I think they'd be alot of fun!  Plus....LARRY....swoooooooon!

We could go to Hawaii of course or London.  Hmmmm I'd even like to get a tour of Ireland from them!

U2 at Sundance

Woo hoooooooo!  Bono's BD is 5/10!  Happy B-day to my fave lead singer!  LOL

How much does a person's musical preference affect how you view him/her?

To become KEG approved one must be a U2 fan!  Really that's all it takes!!!

Bonus points for seeing a U2 concert with me!

U2 at Sundance

Time seems to really fly!

SIX years ago the Patriots were playing the Rams in the Superbowl.

U2 were playing the halftime!  (Woo hooo!)

There was a quarterback controversy going on that even the boys of U2 felt compelled to comment on:

"This is a lot of nonsense about [Tom] Brady and [Drew] Bledsoe," said the Edge in reference to the Patriots quarterback controversy at a press conference in New Orleans on Wednesday (January 30). "We are not here to add to that travesty, but I will say this, Bledsoe has a superior long pass and Brady has a sore ankle."

U2 vocalist Bono added, "We are here to bring peace to Brady and Bledsoe, to bring peace to the A.F.L. and the N.F.L. That's our mission."

I mention this because today is Media Day in Arizona!  Can't wait to see and hear about all the fun (hopefully!) questions the Patriots are asked today by the world press!

Sometimes You Can't Make It on Your Own  (U2)

Tough, you think you've got the stuff 

You're telling me and anyone 

You're hard enough 

You don't have to put up a fight 

You don't have to always be right 

Let me take some of the punches 

For you tonight 

Listen to me now 

I need to let you know 

You don't have to go it alone 

And it's you when I look in the mirror 

And it's you when I don't pick up the phone 

Sometimes you can't make it on your own 

We fight all the time 

You and I...that's alright 

We're the same soul 

I don't need...I don't need to hear you say 

That if we weren't so alike 

You'd like me a whole lot more 

Listen to me now 

I need to let you know 

You don't have to go it alone 

And it's you when I look in the mirror 

And it's you when I don't pick up the phone 

Sometimes you can't make it on your own 

I know that we don't talk 

I'm sick of it all 

Can - you - hear - me - when - I - 

Sing, you're the reason I sing 

You're the reason why the opera is in me... 

Where are we now? 

I've got to let you know 

A house still doesn't make a home 

Don't leave me here alone... 

And it's you when I look in the mirror 

And it's you that makes it hard to let go 

Sometimes you can't make it on your own 

Sometimes you can't make it 

The best you can do is to fake it 

Sometimes you can't make it on your own 

Show us a musical genius.

Bono of course!!!

It's Christmas time

There's no need to be afraid 

At Christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade 

And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy 

Throw your arms around the world at Christmas time 

But say a prayer 

Pray for the other ones 

At Christmas time it's hard, but when you're having fun 

There's a world outside your window 

And it's a world of dread and fear 

Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears 

And the Christmas bells that ring there

Are the clanging chimes of doom 

Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you 

And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time 

The greatest gift they'll get this year is life 

(Oooh) Where nothing ever grows 

No rain nor rivers flow 

Do they know it's Christmas time at all 

(Here's to you) raise a glass for everyone 

(Here's to them) underneath that burning sun 

Do they know it's Christmas time at all 

Feed the world, feed the world, feed the world 

Let them know it's Christmas time again 

Feed the world 

Let them know it's Christmas time again 

Feed the world 

Let them know it's Christmas time again 

Feed the world 

Let them know it's Christmas time again 

Feed the world 

Let them know it's Christmas time again

Imagine being in London tonight at Union Chapel??!!  

Bono and the Edge surprised a group of music fans with a four song set:

* Stay (Faraway, so Close)

* Desire

* Angel of Harlem

* Wave of Sorrow

This was one of the funniest reviews I read about the show tonight from Blend Music:

Anyone stopping by the Union Chapel in London on the 22nd? Nah, I’m not going to go either. Some no-name band is playing. I think they’re called Mencap’s Little Noise Sessions. Who the hell would even name a band Mencap? 

Well, it turns out we both screwed up. Apparently, Mencap’s Little Noise Sessions was actually Bono and The Edge. They played four obscure songs and even briefly broke into Bob Dylan’s “Like A Rolling Stone.” NME was there, those bastards, and they’ve reported The Edge played a little keyboard before the duo closed with “Wave Of Sorrow.” I’m not even a huge U2 guy, and I wish I would have been there! 

BBC radio personality Jo Whiley introduced the tandem, referring to them as "A new band with a lot of potential...Dave the guitarist is very nervous...If he makes a mistake forgive him, he's new. The singer is very shy." Son of a bitch. Someone needs to invent a time machine already, so I can go back and see this.

I wonder where LARRY was tonight?!?!!?  LOL

What's the best music documentary or concert film you've seen?

U2 at Slane Castle of course!  Every time I see that castle on the DVD I get goosebumps!!!
