...U2? Me Too! I have been a fan of U2 since the start [March 9]. I'm from Ireland, am the same age as Bono, have every one of their recordings on vinyl and CD, and have seen the band live, in Dublin and elsewhere, many times. I wanted to thank Josh Tyrangiel for his incisive, honest and, above all, brave review of their new album, No Line on the Horizon. I've listened to an advance copy about 30 times, and it's a poor, disjointed, unmusical record with a few listenable songs. The only good ones sound like...

This was already stretching a point. The holders of honorary knighthoods - a motley crew that includes U2 lead singer Bono, his potty-mouthed countryman Bob Geldof, former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani and, until the honor's revocation last year, Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe - are not allowed to style themselves "Sir," a distinction reserved solely for subjects of Queen Liz. But where Brown really got himself in hot water was with his explanation of what the Massachusetts senator had done to deserve his quasi-ennoblement. Kennedy had contributed to improving American health care, boosting educational provision around the world...
...Nike Dunk SB’s (and five pairs of parents’ penny loafers). Tommy Doyle’s great upstairs venue was well-lit with a low-slanted cabin ceiling, a small but very visible stage, and good sound. In fact, despite the weirdly-placed U2 Elevation tour poster hanging right above the lead singer’s head, there’s hardly another venue in the Square better suited for this kind of show. Veritas Records CEO Caitlin V. Crump ’10 kicked things off by explaining the prizes and the grading system that...
...Pump It Up,” complete with puerile rhymes like “I got a submarine, you’ve got gasoline!” With several stilted shifts in tempo and wobbly Guns n’ Roses-esque guitar flourishes, U2 display their weakness for over-embellishment, foregoing the fun for a scatterbrained collage.The lyrics certainly don’t compensate for these shortcomings, sometimes serving to preemptively bar songs from brilliance. Admittedly, U2 is famous for writing verses of the “uno-dos-tres-catorce” variety, but they’ve proven...
