As always my first blog of the year goes to U2. The band that had the majority of my life’s soundtrack. This song is off one of my truly favorite U2 album,War, that was signed by Adam Clayton and Bono. The same album was held tightly in my hands as my head leaned against Bono on the day before my birthday in 2004. https://youtu.be/f8BtB4C3Vi8 New Year’s Day All is quiet on New Year’s Day. A world in white gets underway….
I grew up a HUGE fan of U2. I had them plastered all over my walls, purchased everything I could get my hands on, saw many concerts. I was one of those crazy fans who even stood outside entrance doors hoping to catch a glimpse of them. If there was an event Bono was at in NY, chances were I was there if I could be. I met 3 of 4 band members. I remember telling the Edge, thank you…
As is my tradition each year, my first blog is New Years Day by U2. This song is off of the War album and was the album that began a very long obsession with the band but lead me to this picture and my signed War album. I use the USA remix because it is my favorite. https://youtu.be/Ssmo1ni-mxM You won’t hold me, hold me down You won’t break this heart I will be free again Stone cold night on a…
I have to always pay homage to this song on this day to my favorite band. I fell in love with U2 from the War album back well, let’s just say a very long time ago.This is the album that is framed in my room signed by Bono and Adam the night I got my picture with Bono. Always a night worth remembering. https://youtu.be/f8BtB4C3Vi8 All is quiet on New Year’s Day. A world in white gets underway. I want to…
My ex-husband has now asked me twice, “have you listened to the new U2 album, it’s really good?”He, knowing how I am, said after you get through the first and second listening time, you’ll really love it. I’ve been a U2 fan since I was about 10. Lately, in the last 5-6 years, I really don’t listen to you to them all that much. I’m still in their fan club, I still have a ton of paraphernalia from them and…
Years ago when I was in my 20’s I had this vivid dream about Bono. if you don’t know who I am talking about, it is this gorgeous man… He was sitting alone at the edge of a step on a grand staircase kind of like this… He looked so sad. I sat down next to him and just talked. I remember waking up feeling like I met Bono. I felt a connection to a man, I’ve listen to sing…
This picture took me 25 years to get. It was November 22, 2004 and U2 released How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. November 22 is my birthday. The did a lot of publicity on this one. The had an impromptu concert under the Brooklyn Bridge after they went around the city singing on a flatbed truck. I was one of the 1,000+ people who didn’t go to work and was at the Brooklyn Bridge for that concert. The next evening…
