RE: U2 - Greg - 11-15-2022
Bono is doing the rounds to promote his book. He did the interview with Colbert followed by a song. But they also recorded the Colbert Questionnaire at about the same time. It's 15 dumb questions that Colbert asks his guests. This one with Bono was really good. I wished it had lasted longer.

I've never seen this bit before.
RE: U2 - Greg - 01-12-2023
U2 has a new album coming out in March. Edge decided to rework all the old songs. I'm undecided about how that will go but I'm leaning towards "not well". Yes, you damn kids should get off my lawn.
But I did go to the U2 website to see what was on offer and maybe to listen to some pre-releases. Nope. But I did see the different packages they were selling. You can get the Digital Package or the CD package or the Vinyl Package. Alt those I understand. They also have on offer the cassette package. That one I don't understand. Are there audiophiles out there for cassettes? Wasn't that the worst format ever?

Didn't we get all that crap already preprogramed on our LIEphones?
RE: U2 - Greg - 01-12-2023
Amazon Prime had a playlist that was 5 hours of U2 songs that I enjoyed listening to. With Amazon's push to get people to pay for their streaming service, they've discontinued that list. Very disheartening.

The promotional tour is starting to ramp up. I will be watching.

Dear Gregory,
'Bono & The Edge join Dave Letterman for 'A Sort of Homecoming' a feature-length music special in Dublin, to mark the release of Songs of Surrender on St Patrick's Day.
"Recently, I won a radio contest," says Letterman. "Winner gets to visit Dublin with Bono and The Edge (radio contest part not true, but I feel like a winner). They showed me around, introduced me to their musician friends, and performed some of their greatest songs in a small theater. It's a great tour. Get in touch with them ― I'm told there are still availabilities. I'm the luckiest man on the planet. (There are no availabilities)."
Talking about Songs of Surrender, did anyone mention the 2LP Limited Edition Deluxe Crystal Clear Vinyl is now available in the U2 store?
Best Wishes

In 2004, Apple sold the U2 special edition iPod that was pre-loaded with their catalog:

...artist/band Nagativland responded with an pre-loaded U2 vs Negativland iPod and was summarily cease-and-desisted:
