    American Soul.

    October the album, yes: Gloria, I Fall Down, Rejoice, Scarlet, ITABTAW, Stranger. Some of the Edges best work, when he was the Edge and not Jack White/Jimmy Page. In a Little While was good enough to be played on more than one tour, it was original, didn't sound like anything else, had the dry...

    American Soul.

    Haven't posted in like 15 years but stopped by to hear what people are thinking of the appalling new tune and you just nail it.... everything you said, yes. I thought Joey Ramone was shite, didn't think they could do worse but wow. Makes GOYB look like SBS! Bono and the Edge always said that...

    ? for conservatives. Is Fox News fair and balanced?

    Not knocking them. Nothing wrong with admitting which way they lean. I wish there was a way for newscasters and news organizations to inform the public of their biases but I would not advocate any sort of ratings system as that would be inaccurate and ridiculous so I'll leave it to the bloggers...

    He does opinion news and he's as liberal as Hannity is Conservative. Oh, and I forgot that serious journalist, Ron Reagan Jr

    ? for conservatives. Is Fox News fair and balanced?

    It's not just that people are repeating the charge. Groups such as Media Reasearch collect evidence on a daily basis. It doesn't come out of thin air. Say what you want about them, they get their info from the horse's mouth to make their case. The charge wasn't "made up" in the 90s, it was...

    ? for conservatives. Is Fox News fair and balanced?

    Kind of like your far out claim that the other networks "all try to be objective". How would you know? I admit that Fox is conservative. Of course it is. Are you suggesting all the other networks are perfectly in the middle? Fox's claim to be fair and balanced is based not on their newscasters...

    That's quite false and laughable Keith Olberman, Chris Matthews, Ted Koppel, Dan Rather. I'm sure you think Bernard Goldberg is a big liar.

    Boy Songs = Easy to Play

    Vertigo is one of the all time easiest songs to play. It could be a Ramones song. Apart from I will follow, Boy is not easy to play. It's the Edge's most complex and abstract guitar work. It's not just major and minor chords. The Boy material was developed before he knew a lot of chords. Instead...

    April 6, Staples Center in Los Angeles

    That's true. But I'm spoiled, having seen them 15 or so times

    April 6, Staples Center in Los Angeles

    So the consensus seems to be that the most lackluster show was Anaheim 1, The only one I could get tickets for. Damn. Also the only show where NONE of Boy was performed. Coincidence?

    'Pop' songs on tour?

    The guitar heavy live version please

    I want to hear 'A Man and a Woman" live

    AMaAW is vintage ethereal U2, a la Love Comes Tumbling and will stand as a U2 classic in years to come when Crumbs and ABOY will be regarded as filler.

    Kill the CAT DUBH

    An Cat Dubh/Into the Heart is as much of a guitar classic as any Hendrix tune. 100% Edge, 100% original. Sounds and tones that were previously unheard of. Edge's guitar work has never been better than the Boy album. I've been trying to figure out how to play some of those tunes since I was 16-...

    April 1, Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim

    April 1 was about my 15th U2 show since the UF tour. Got to my seat- the very last row in the farthest section from the stage. We and the couple next to us were wondering why the hell we paid $40 to join the club for the worst seats in the house. On to the show. Last tour was magical, all 3...

    MERGED: Terri Schiavo, Continued + Terri Schiavo (Died 3/31/2005)

    to balance out Teddy the Democrat interpreter, suggesting perhaps DeLay meant knocking off judges. Got to hand it to Teddy, he sure know how to grab headlines.

    MERGED: Terri Schiavo, Continued + Terri Schiavo (Died 3/31/2005)

    Classic example of making a mountain out of a molehill. That whole article is based on one line from Tom DeLay: "The time will come for the men responsible for this to answer for their behavior, but not today." Of course Kennedy, ever the divisive politician blew it out of proportion with this...

    "I Think She's A Clown Or A Witch"

    Her whole schtick is liberal bashing. Sometimes liberals need to be bashed. I think she's clever and humorous as well. If she had no talent, we would not even know who she is. Besides, she doesn't come off as all pissed off like, say, Maureen Dowd. Ann's commentary is no less legitimate than...

    Democrats are little adorable gerrymander-free angels. They wouldn't dream of ever doing such a thing.

    Rastafari

    I like how Reggae singers "rasta-fy" the English language: Ded-icated = liv-icated Creation = I-ration Me = I & I (oneness with Jah) Irie = feeling alright Any more? Bob will forever be the greatest name in reggae, but the greatest reggae album has to be Bunny Wailer "Blackheart Man" I think...
