ETA: oops... meant to post in the general EYKIW section. My bad. As we wait a few more months (or years) for U2's next album (or two), which is totally finished (unless they go back and re-work everything), let's create some tracklists. Take all 14 opening songs and all 14 closing songs and...

My fiancée and I went to go see I Can Only Imagine the other night. As it starts, a caption on the screen reads “Greenville, Texas- 1985.” A minute later, you see a young boy (the main character) bike to the local music shop. The guy behind the counter hands him a cassette tape and says...

Just for fun, are there any songs that you feel completely different about now than you used to feel? Are there any songs you love that you originally hated, or vice versa? Not a slight change, but a 180-degree flip. Used to hate but now love: Winter- "butter on toast" line is still one of...

A few months ago I purchased a couple GA tickets for June 4 in Chicago. Recently, however, I found out I'll be moving out west a few weeks before that and will not be able to attend. Is there a way to sell the tickets somehow? With the whole CC entry thing, I was unsure. What would be the best...

So this was done shortly after SOI and I thought it was an interesting idea, so I figured we could do it again since some time has passed. Essentially, take all the track ones, track twos, etc, from the four 2000s albums and rank them 1-4 (1 for least favorite and 4 for favorite) and then add...

I know we've done something like this before, but now that we have a new album to factor in, I figured we could do it again. If you had to swap all of U2's album titles, how would you re-assign them? And yes, I know some of them have title tracks so it wouldn't make much sense, but... just play...

Mods, feel free to close this thread if you think it's redundant. :) I thought we could have a thread where we share our favorite lyrics. For me: The Miracle- "music so I can exaggerate my pain, and give it a name" and "I get so many things I don't deserve" Every Breaking Wave- the chorus...

Hey all. The youth pastor at my church, who I've become pretty good friends with over the years, is taking a new position and moving across the country soon. He's a young guy, early 30s, and a huge U2 fan. I plan on buying him a card, and in addition to writing something from myself, I thought...

A heads-up: I just heard on Fox News that Bono will be Mike Huckabee's guest on his show on Saturday night at 8 Eastern. :up:

Jobs Saved or Created in Congressional Districts That Don't Exist - ABC News Here's a stimulus success story: In Arizona's 15th congressional district, 30 jobs have been saved or created with just $761,420 in federal stimulus spending. At least that's what the Web site set up by the Obama...

One of my favorite songs the past few weeks has been BTBS from the Boston DVD, and I was curious about something. At the end of the song he does that whole rant about John Lennon and Mark Chapman. Did he make that up on the spot, or does he write those things beforehand and memorize them...

I didn't see a thread like this yet, but I thought it'd be interesting to talk about who- if anyone- we're going with on our fabulous experiences! I've got tickets for 9/12 Chicago, and I'm bringing one of my best friends, Alex. I've known him for about 11 years from my church back home. He's...

I figured VP discussion was worthy of its own thread... So now that each side has a nominee, the interest is quickly turning to who they each might pick as their running mate. Who are your top choices for your preferred candidate and why, and who are you most worried about your opponent...

This, obviously, is similar to the other thread. I want all you Obama supporters to discuss issues and why you support Obama. The rules: No mentioning "change" or "hope" or "experience doesn't mean judgment" or "McCain is old." Talk about issues. What I don't want in this campaign is for...

New Hampshire predictions Republicans- McCain. Huckabee's victory damaged Romney, probably catapulting McCain to win. McCain was either tied or winning NH even before last night, so Iowa only helped him. Neither Huckabee nor anyone else has a chance. Huckabee is way, way down there and I...

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,292782,00.html That really doesn't surprise me. Another example of hypocrisy from the left.

Hey everyone. I'm not sure if this is where a thread like this should go, so please move it Mods if you desire. Anyway, I'm going on a retreat with my church next week, and the leaders (that's me) when they introduce themselves need to state a weird habit or strange quirk about themselves. I'm...

NEW YORK TIMES BURIES JFK PLOT STORY A major terror plot to blow up fuel tanks and a pipeline feeding New York’s JFK airport and nearby residential communities made front-page news this weekend across the nation. The terror story also led all the major network and cable news shows. But The...

Hey all. My family's already on my back asking for Christmas gift ideas, and I thought I could ask for some U2 books. Any of you recommend a good one? I've got the In Conversation with Michka Assayas book, and I loved it. Thanks for the help! *edit. I just noticed the "Every Artist Is A...

Does anyone know of a website or anywhere that says the dates/locations of when U2 has shot all their different music videos? I've found a little on @U2, but not very much. Thanks for any help.

Not sure if this has been done before, but I was bored and came up with this. Take your favorite song from each of U2's 11 studio albums and create a CD/tracklisting of those 11 songs. Here's mine: 1) I Will Follow 2) Gloria 3) Miracle Drug 4) Until The End Of The World 5) New Years Day 6)...

Im a huge LOZ fan, and in anticipation of the upcoming game in a few months, I thought about making a LOZ-related U2 mix. Not sure how good this will work, but which U2 songs do you think have a "Legend Of Zelda" aspect in them somehow? Ive thought about: A Celebration UTEOTW Elevation Dirty...
