I don't agree with that. They have had many members since 1971-1972 (when the first two original members died.) As of the other night they still had three original members.

I don't know if I would agree with his statement about "half their show". I guess someone could do a song by song breakdown.

I would have thought it would be Whipping Post:

That gear book is great. So is the Beatles one. Now there are Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin versions of those books. I want to get those at some point.

I've read hundreds of rock books. Most of them are not that great. I found his to be bad. I'd like them to talk more about the music. I am not really interested in stories about ex-wives and what sort of drugs they did. Maybe Billy's will be different. But - I doubt it. I could be wrong. We shall see.

I have a funny feeling this book will be worse or as bad as Phil's book:

I'm listening to it for the first time today. So far I am liking the bonus disc better. I'd say the previous two albums were better than this one. It's interesting to me that I am hearing some hints of early U2 on this album. The helicopter guitars and tinkling piano - is what I am thinking of. I think Bono has said there is at least one other album they hope to put out this year. Also - I have not heard any mention of a tour. Speaking of the old timey days - This may have been one of the first videos I ever saw: U2 - Two Hearts Beat As One

I finally picked up the cd today. I have not listened to it yet. I appreciate the liner notes. But - they are a bit hard to read when you are an old dude. I don't recall seeing the credit "Lyrics: Bono and The Edge" before. I'll have to get out the other albums and take a look. That deal about Bono's eyes is talked about in the U2 oral history book.

You can hear the song Promising on the Chelsea Walls soundtrack. Or on YT - of course. I think it was a song originally recorded for A.M.

Maybe you'll get Five Against One or Vitalogy.

It's odd to see Neil's life becoming fodder for TMZ. I am guessing Crosby is referring to her days with Jackson Browne.

I bought the dvd. The Works is not so bad.

It was the 6th of June (but not the dark of the moon). And I think it was the 4th show.

U2 - Video Q and A It's good to see they still have their humor intact.

Now we're talking. Thunder In The East indeed

Information on the new album:

I have to go for Bill since he is from my home state.

I always thought NIN made music for serial killers and psychopaths. (Joke) But - I guess whoever voted for those people have their reasons. I don't agree with most of the list this year.

It's good to see SRV on the list.

Speaking of Marc - he played a show with Lucinda Williams the other night.

David did a Webchat yesterday also.

It could be. Whenever I see or hear that word I think of the great Pete demo (Melancholia) on the first Scoop album. I should listen to the whole thing some more.

I would think Chris and Rich are doing alright. I don't know about the rest. We'll see. I would be very surprised if Marc ever played in the BC again. I think it would be Jackie or someone else. I rather like the Trigger Hippy album. It's not exactly my cup of tea, but it speaks to me.

When I first got Netflix a while back I tried to re-watch the show for the first time since it was on. I could not get into it. I don't know if I would watch a new version or not.

I finally got the album on Friday. I'd say I like the 2nd disc better than the first one.
