If you’re like me, your social media streams are filling up today with friends that are “Peanutizing” themselves. Say what? They’re “peanutizing” themselves — turning themselves into Peanuts characters. It’s part of a website that’s designed to promote the upcoming Peanuts film. You know — Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy, etc. I haven’t peanutized myself yet, […]
I love hearing this story from this story teller, and it never gets old. This week Salman Rushdie told Jimmy Fallon about how U2’s song “The Ground Beneath Her Feet” came about from his 1999 novel The Ground Beneath Her Feet. Rushdie was on The Tonight Show on September 2 to promote his new novel Two Years Eight […]
You really haven’t lived until you’ve seen Junior, a French Bulldog, singing along in the car to “With Or Without You.” Just like we all do. Thanks to @2PugsinaPod for pointing us toward the video (from the dog with its own Twitter account). The internet is the best.
It’s almost like Bono’s making a point of catching up with U2’s former Vertigo tour opening acts this week. After he appeared on David Letterman’s show with Kings of Leon Thursday, he surprised everyone by popping up on a trippy-weird-random Arcade Fire TV special that aired immediately after the season premiere of SNL (where they […]
That list of the weirdest U2 crafts that Rashas wrote about a few days back was obviously written before anyone saw this. That’s Bono done up in the shape of a giant egg … an egg that also happens to be up for auction this month. If you’re in Dublin during the next couple weeks, […]
Ever wonder what unusual U2-related crafts people have come up with? Stereogum put together a list of the 10 Weirdest U2 Crafts on the Web. There’s everything from a dress made out of a tour T-shirt to a drawing of Bono and Edge as sheep in the band Ewe 2. This reminds me of the […]
Forget the hundreds of millions of albums sold, forget the globetrotting tours that set records that may never be broken, forget the throngs of adoring fans … you know you’ve made it when scientists name a spider after you. That honor has been bestowed on Bono. According to the Riverside Press-Enterprise, taxonomist Jason Bond recently […]
To promote their upcoming book, Is That a Word?: From AA to ZZZ, the Weird and Wonderful Language of Scrabble, author David Bukszpan and publisher Chronicle Books created this hysterical parody of U2’s “With or Without You” video. You probably don’t need to be a word geek to love this, but it might help. Me? […]
We wrote on the main site about Bono and The Edge appearing on The Late Show with David Letterman this past Monday, but last night’s show (Thursday) had a sort of encore performance! Well, kind of. It seems that while B&E were at the Sullivan Theatre, they taped a funny little skit that aired on […]
Our earlier blog post showed band members in movie roles in U2 themed movie posters. Now the roles are reversed. Nextmovie.com took 9 classic album covers and put the actors from Harry Potter in character on them. Two classic U2 albums made this list. I was going to post the images , but I thought […]
