Shuttlecock XX - Laz Is All You Have Left

[BoMac]

I was listening to a playlist I made of both SOI & SOE and it hit me how lucky some of us are to have such a strong 2 album run so late in U2’s career. There are no songs on either album that I have any want to skip. I think I do prefer SOE just because it has higher highs and The Little Things, but SOE still has that strong run at the end.

Fixed it for you.

Fixed it for you.

I think they both have fantastic ends.

 

[BoMac]

I think they both have fantastic ends.

I'm happy you feel that way. I wish I did, but I simply can't get into this album. I have similar thoughts to what joyfulgirl said on the previous page.

 

[Hewson]

I got my CD as well.

I’m having a really hard time reading the liner notes, especially Bono’s letter. I tried, but eventually gave up.

Is it because the font and colour scheme make it difficult to read? Or am I getting old? I choose the former.

Its definitely the color scheme, nothing to do with age.

My wife got me a ticket to the Chicago show for Xmas, even though she won’t be able to come with me.

She’s a keeper.

 

[Hewson]

Nice gift.

Merry Christmas everyone.

The Knicks lost for Christmas. Thankfully my Wizards, of whom I've been a life long fan, have a shot at redemption.

Oh, and we're having a kid. Like today. Or maybe tomorrow.

 

[Hewson]

Congrats on the 2nd kid.

Nice. Congrats on the kid, Headache. Teach him/her from the start not to be a Knicks fan.

Congrats on the 2nd kid.

Ha. Thanks. We're about 4 hours into the induction process... The whole "hey the 2nd one will just fall right out" thing appears to be bullshit.

 

[phanan]

Congrats and best of luck.

Might apply to Lance's Mom.

Spoiler

Congrats!

 

[mikal]

Oh I thought Lance’s mom had an easier time taking the 2nd one in.

 

[cobl04]

What was the setlist for U2's set at the BBC? And does anyone have a link that can be watched without downloading a VPN?

 

[corianderstem]

Hey, congrats Headache!

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Thanks!

Paul David Lawrence Adam Guy Paul was born yesterday afternoon.

 

[Hewson]

We'll call him Padlpg (or Paddle Pig) for short

 

[LemonMelon]

You didn't fit Gavin Friday or Guggi anywhere in the name? Hand in your fan card.

 

[mikal]

You should have named your son Leo. It would be hilarious if someone here did that.

PS. Congrats!

 

[david]

Funnier if someone had a kid, named him Leo, then forgot about him.

Terry Lawless once again overlooked.

 

[martha]

Thanks!

Congratulations! Christmas time babies are the best!

Bono is getting destroyed on social media for calling present day music "girly" in the Rolling Stone interview.

Also, congrats Headache!

Gavin Guggi Leo Eli Joe O'Herllihey is his middle name.

 

[DaveC]

congrats to mr and mrs headache in a suitcase and welcome to the world headache in a carry-on.

Bono also confirms that the guitar part in Summer of Love was not written by The Edge, but rather "someone working with Ryan Tedder."

 

[lazarus]

Yeah, not sure how you avoid giving writing credit there.

I read the entire interview and thought it was fantastic for the most part, but the "girly" bit definitely stood out to me. That was not a good choice of words. I think I understand what he was getting at but, damn. An entire interview filled with bits of wisdom and the only thing people will look at is the one poorly chosen line.

Baffling

 

[PhilsFan]

Not only no credit in the liner notes, literally an interview in which he says "someone" wrote it.
