    The Bible and U2*

    Also a reference by Bono of how Christians would identify each other during times of persecution. When facing each other, one would draw the top arc of the Christian "fish" in the sand with his foot. The other would complete the fish icon by drawing the bottom arc in the sand with his foot.

    Defending U2’s PopMart*

    I also "discovered" U2 during Pop. Discotheque and MoFo were just what I was needing after weaning myself from metal and techno from my college years. Within one year of that album, I had every U2 release I could get my hands on and remain a huge fan to this day. If I had come in a little...

    Review: Vertigo 2005//U2 Live From Chicago*

    Thanks for a great review! I was excited about this DVD since it's pretty close (if memory serves) to the set list of the Denver show. Wish I had known about the deluxe edition; I was surprised there were no bonus features on the disc I purchased. Now I know why!

    The Story of U2’s 'October'*

    Great article! Very informative. I'd love to know where you got all the quotes. Also, I'm surprised you didn't mention (but maybe it wouldn't have fit) that the original lyrics were finally found not too long ago in a Portland attic and returned to the band. Wonder what they'll do with...

    Review: U2 at the Pepsi Center in Denver, April 20, 2005*

    For the curious, Nicholas (the little boy) returned for the show on 4/21. Bono called out, "Where is he? Where's the boy with the clearest eyes from last night?" He was again welcomed on-stage and encouraged to "stay as he was". Great review as well.

    Coping With the Second Crap Album From My Favorite Band*

    All I can add to the above is this: One way to get people to read your article is to post an inflammatory article to get the reader thinking and feeling something. It worked. Secondly, I felt the same way as the author after the first listen. A month and many listens later, my opinion has...

    About U2: U2 and the Movies*

    Most of it wasn't my taste, but a couple of tracks (your blue room, Miss Sarajevo, slug), worth the price of admission, so to speak. U2 music collection is incomplete without it.

    Poll: U2 and the Movies

    What do you think the best U2 soundtrack entry is and why? I'm mostly interested in your thoughts about which original song is best, but I'd also like to hear what you think is the best use of a U2 song in a movie. Lastly, what did you all think about Bono's most recent foray into scripts with...
