The Tweedy Show shall return Thursday evening.

Someone in a U2 fansite posted last week that the U2 SiriusXM station should be coming soon, according to a response from SiriusXM. I had it in the back of my mind since December when the announcement was made. I expected something in time for the fall. Yesterday news trickled in that the station would start on Wednesday July 1st at 3pm. That news quickly disappeared and I thought that it was pushed back. Woke up today to a Rolling Stone article with The Edge making the official announcement. All of the programming and live vault sounds excellent!

p.s. U2roolz, glad to hear you're feeling better. you've been doing yeoman's work with your recaps. and paul, and diane, and all the rest of you, of course. we'd all be lost in the dark without such powerful institutional knowledge on our side.

Thank you for the kind words, Isaac! Great story! Thank you for sharing it with us! And yes, I view this as a collaboration between Paul, Monty & myself.

 

And it sounds like you’re local to me, since you were also going to see Wilco on Jeff’s birthday in Boston. I don’t think that will ever happen again in terms of scheduling a show on his birthday in my neck of the woods.
