In our forum last night, member “Hwy 190” shared the photo above that shows what clearly looks like a clean saw cut to the fallen Joshua tree — i.e., the actual tree from the inner cover of U2’s album. The forum member lives in the California desert and says s/he’s been visiting the site of […]
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.
That’s a traditional Irish carol Bono is whispering on Michael W. Smith’s new Christmas album. “The Darkest Midnight” is from a collection called the Kilmore Carols, from the village of Kilmore in County Wexford. The song’s official title is “On Christ’s Nativity,” and while versions of the poem differ, it typically runs many verses long. Bono speaks […]
This is really cool. U2 fans from around the world have shared brief video messages to let Bono know that they’re (we’re) thinking about him, praying for him, and hoping he recovers fully and quickly from that awful bike accident last month. @U2 was one of many fan sites around the world to help spread […]
Artist Fin DAC has created an enormous mural painting of Bono and The Edge inside the Gibson Hotel in Dublin. Gary P., our Dublin photographer friend, met up with the artist last Wednesday to shoot these photos as the project wrapped up. We’re told this is a permanent mural, so next time you’re in Dublin […]
Roy Orbison’s Mystery Girl is being rereleased with bonus material in celebration of the album’s 25th anniversary. Orbison died of a heart attack just days after finishing studio work on this highly-praised record, so the celebration is even more meaningful. One of the anniversary package’s bonus features includes a previously unreleased demo of Orbison working on […]
Larry Mullen did a number of press interviews earlier this month when he was in Oslo for the premiere of his second film, A Thousand Times Goodnight. One of those interviews was not like the others! He taped an interview with the guys from a TV show called Senkveld, and the conversation ended with a […]
On the heels of our recent interview with Dennis Bell, who directed the New Voices Of Freedom choir in Rattle And Hum, we have a couple more treats to share — also courtesy of Dennis! He’s uploaded two rare audio tracks to SoundCloud that you’ll enjoy. I’m gonna go in reverse order and talk first […]
A gossip site called The Superficial published this photo of Bono riding a bike somewhere near his summer home in Eze, France. I kinda like how the folks at U2 Achtung phrased it: Incroyable! Bono en parfait cycliste dimanche dernier! Incroyable / Bono on a bike last Sunday! Unbelievable pic.twitter.com/6iwBq9XQIC — U2 Achtung (@U2Achtung_) July […]
“Bono’s actually — even though he’s small, he has this huge — like a bison head, this really big head.” Poor Bono! That’s how photographer Gregory Heisler describes Bono in a video explaining how he put together the cover shot that TIME magazine used when it named Bono, Bill Gates and Melinda Gates as “persons […]
