Songs of Innocence Promo Tour - Discussion Thread #2

[last unicorn]

^ Yes, I read about it earlier today, he apparently spoke about it on the Graham Norton show. Must say, I'm not surprised. It won't stop people making stupid comments on his glasses, though.

I know a lot of people who suffer from this or similar eye conditions, most of them had surgery at some point. With proper treatment, Bono should be fine.

Still, not good news.

How (not) unusual for Graham Norton to ask trivial questions to his guests.

Didn't hear any of the Absolute radio interview but there is this news just it, so stop press!!!

Bono reveals he always wears sunglasses because of glaucoma - Telegraph

"I have good treatments and I am going to be fine."

Same article, but with a new picture from the show. All smiles

FWIW, the only way I could get it to work from an iPad in the US was by clicking on the download link first. Total PITA.

Fast forward to 16:30 remaining.

"All those people who were uninterested in U2 are now mad at U2. As far as we are concerned, it's an improvement."

I like the bands take on the release(even though it may have been a twit of a joke they were trying to make) and while I get why some people would be upset, this is my stance too.

So Bono and Larry are doing this Miami interview alone? So the lamest promo tour ever has evolved from acoustic to smooth jazz?

That's all I know of. Tomorrow morning is Gerry Kelly on BBC also.

I've been listening to an older (NLOTH era) Christian O'Connell podcast with U2 and he does great interviews with the band.

There is a video version of the older interview there if anyone is interested:

I'm assuming the new U2 interview will soon show up there in its entirety.
