Sorry Beal, now I see you've already mentioned that...

Red Hill Mining Town... basically like a lot of the JT songs, a search for God in a time of desperation. THe miners gave their lives for their work, to support their families, to make an honest living, and that was about to be taken away and they'd be left with nothing. The feeling of...

Wow, what a daring bunch we are... Well, the day that ATYCLB came out, I had a busy day at work. I tried to go buy it at lunch, but a meeting ran over preventing me from leaving. Then of course it was Halloween and I, living in San Francisco, was busy running around, making plans, getting my...

Where is "Bono's Pizza?" I'll go!

Well Bubba, I understand your frustration, but I think sampling and borrowing is one of those necessary evils. Think of it this way, it just goes to show that these "artist's" only CHANCE of being considered legitimate is by borrowing a solid, classic hit. Think about it... nobody really takes...

Well I'm glad I got this discussion going! I like the idea of having a general gathering at the embarcadero fountain. SF is finally starting to feel like home to me. I love it here! I'm not sure what to think of the Haight. The Gap on Haight-Ashbury is disgusting, Overpriced "vintage"...

Sorry I didn't see your post, tomtom. I just thought it was interesting because I knew the song was so mysterious sounding, that there had to be something behind it. It does sound like a backup track, although it's a complete song in itself. I like the analogy (i'm sorry, I can remember who...

Thanks for the insight, bicyclingfish. I've always rather liked his use of this line, then one day it struck me as condescending. But I'm over it now. What you said made a lot of sense. Actually there are several meanings I can discern, guilt, confusion, etc. In fact I think Ill go listen...

Yeah...okay...but I still think the quote is wrongfully taken out of context. At the time Gloria Steinem was making this statement it was more in reference to the idea that a woman's life is worthless if she does not have a husband, that a woman has to depend on a man for a livelihood etc...

I'm rather disturbed by the line in "trying to throw your arms around the world": A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle when you're trying to throw your arms around the world." He's quoting Gloria Steinem here, and the obvious conclusion would be that this is a slam against feminism...

Hi, I'm looking for videos of live shows, any and all, particularly Unf. Fire JT era. I'm also looking for new copies of Red Rocks and the making of the Unforgettable Fire. Any Suggestions?

"I will follow" is another song about losing his Mom. Alot of the earlier songs are. I think the biggest revelation I had was listening to the Joshua Tree and realizing that almost the entire album is about man questioning his relationship with God. So great. But, while I'm at it, I would...

Aw!!! That's so sweet!! I'd give anything to meet Bono et. al. I'd love to see your pic. Where was it that you met Bono?

I've moved here in the last year. Just looking for more U2 fans to meet. A while back I went down to Embarcadero Center and frolicked in the fountain where All Along the Watchtower was filmed for Rattle and Hum... ...but there was no one else to share my enthusiasm (sniffle).

So when ZOOtv came along, there was that funky 4 tix/person rule. my friend and I got in an argument as to whom should be included in our group. So we decided to split up. Thanks to writband lottery: Friend: Second row. Girl next to him danced with Bono. Ate Pizza that Bono ordered and...

So I'm going through this Unforgettable FIre revival at the moment, realizing I had almost forgotten one of my favorite songs, Elvis Presley & America. Problem is, I'm baffled by the lyrics. It's obviously about admiration and loss, but what's goin on in this song? America losing Elvis? Elvis...

Chris... I just had to respond. Pretty cool to just get the message out there. Tell your parents (or friends, or whomever you are close to) that U2 albums is all you want for Christmas (or birthday, or whatever holiday you celibrate). That's what I did, after seeing R&H on opening night in...
