Don't the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament) say something about stoning a prophet who makes even one prophetic statement that doesn't come true? I'm not advocating stoning or death in any way but showing the standard that God places on people speaking in his name. I'm pretty sure this violates...

I had a friend attend the show in Vegas with me. He came away with the same idea that Bono was trying to equate all three religions all being true. He's an English as a second language speaker so maybe that contributed to some of his confusion but maybe some shows Bono was more clear than...

I wish we had a simulator to put these teams head to head over the course of a season and see who's team came out on top.

From what I understand, the deal with Nolan Ryan, was that he really tried to be unhittable. A lot of pitchers get you out by setting you up to hit their "out" pitch. Ryan was different. He wouldn't give you a pitch to hit and thus threw a lot of balls when he was trying to hit the fringes of...

C- Mike Piazza 1B- Frank Thomas 2B- Ryne Sandberg 3B- George Brett SS- Barry Larkin LF- Rickey Henderson CF- Ken Griffey Jr. RF- Tony Gwynn Util- Craig Biggio Lineup: Henderson (R) Gwynn (L) Thomas (R) Griffey (L) Piazza (R) Brett (L) Sandberg (R) Larkin (R) Can you imagine having to pitch...

I have read these pages for years but never posted a lot. The sheer volume of reading required to stay current overwhelms me. I started with a different name way back before ATYCLB was released. I discovered Interference because KROQ announced some details about the birth of Bono's son and...

Yancey talks about Bono/U2 in What's So Amazing about Grace? I don't remember that at all...

Its been a number of years since I read that quote and I believe what he said was that he had received What's So Amazing About Grace and then he tried to remember the name of the other book and said a very close but slightly different idea of what he thought the title was. From what he had...

I believe the name of the book is called Prayer: Does It Do Any Good or something like that. I don't have it with me right now. I have read What's So Amazing About Grace and it was a very life-altering book. I was lead to it by reading the quote where Noel Gallagher said that Bono had sent...

Just finished reading part of it on my lunch break and he mentions that he has interviewed members of U2. Does anyone have access to this interview?

I was just reading in the Atlantic a review from Christopher Hitchen's on a new book out about Kennedy. Hitchen's claims in the review that Kennedy was probably way too effected by all the medications he was taking to make fully rational decisions as the leader of the Free World. Interesting...

The Rolling Stones weren't influenced by the Beatles? Everything they did until at least 1967 was a direct response to the Beatles in some manner. Go read The Beatles: The Biography by Spitz. It was just released within the last year. It will help you to realize exactly how HUGE this band...

Another U2 fan site reported that they didn't receive any money for the deal. It was just a swap of music for exposure and I'm sure a game that they all enjoy. Very cool commercials.

Is Bon Jovi really selling out stadiums and if they can play stadiums why doesn't U2?

How come he said his mom was Catholic and his dad was a Protestant?
