...Morrow’03, a weekly devotee of “Thirsty Thursday” remembers one particular gathering when Prichard and one of Prichard’s close friends stood in the middle of the room while the rest of the guests circled around them and sang the U2 classic “One.” “‘Thirsty Thursday’ was focused on friends and being together. It was about appreciating what we have,” Morrow says...
...Took My Baby Away into a bland bit of Goth melodrama. The Ramones' songbook demands energy and wit. Rancid gets the energy prize, flying through Sheena Is a Punk Rocker an inconceivable 58 seconds faster than the Ramones did, while Bono drops into a drolly perfect growl on U2's Beat on the Brat. But it's Kiss, the least credible contributing act (and the act that cares the least about credibility), that delivers the only great cover, imbuing Do You Remember Rock 'n' Roll Radio with an over-the-top nostalgic wackiness that Joey, who grew...
...precondition for returning to Baghdad, Blix and Al-Baradei demanded that the Iraqis allow private interviews with scientists, allow surveillance flights by U2 spy-planes operated by the inspectors, and pass legislation in the Iraqi parliament outlawing weapons of mass destruction. Iraq this week allowed a scientist to be interviewed with no government minder present, and is believed by UN officials to be ready to concede on the other two points.

Chief inspector Dr. Hans Blix has chastised the Iraqis for their "passive cooperation," insisting Baghdad had evaded some of the key challenges set out by the inspectors such as explaining the discrepancies in its declaration, allowing unrestricted access to scientists and permitting U2 surveillance flights. Powell plans an even more damning indictment by showing evidence that Iraq is not, in fact, passively cooperating at all, but instead is actively evading and confounding the inspection process through a massive counterintelligence effort that includes "sanitizing" sites ahead of inspectors, coaching Iraqi scientists and more. If other...
...best moments in Step Across This Line , Salman Rushdie's provocatively named book of essays (Jonathan Cape; 454 pages), comes when the author is invited on stage at a U2 concert in 1993 by his friend Bono. At the time, Rushdie was in hiding from Muslim assassins after Iran's Ayatullah Khomeini issued a fatwa against him for his allegedly blasphemous novel, The Satanic Verses . Bono, ever the good guy, meant the invitation as a gesture of support. To Rushdie, the moment was a revelation. He suddenly felt "what it's like to have 80,000 fans cheering...
