I've listened to them a lot, from the start. what leads you to view them as 'dead'? say more - steve sherwood Sun, 24 Feb 2008 19:53:59 +0100 http://www.rednow.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=568&Itemid=49#pc_212 u2 died a long time ago. now they just zooropa - sunny Fri, 22 Feb 2008 22:54:57 +0100 http://www.rednow.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=568&Itemid=49#pc_194 WOW! Words fail! Wow! I saw 'Heima' for the first time this week and thought THAT was the coolest combination of music and film ever and then my wife and I went to see U23D tonight. Freaking amazing! Other than missing several of the really great songs the band played on that tour, it was more than I could possibly have hoped for. U2 is a great band. Bono is a great showman. Their last tour was such a powerful call for peace and justice AND add to that the mind blowing technology!! Wow! p.s. and there was this bizarre Derridian psychedelic commentary on language, power and the media during 'The Fly' in the encore. Very cool. - steve sherwood Fri, 01 Feb 2008 23:14:26 +0100 http://www.rednow.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=568&Itemid=49#pc_192 Cool comments, Drew. Perhaps because they all hail from Dublin and have all stayed together, they can repeatedly remind each other who they are and whose they are. U2 has always been a little community project no matter how big the stadium they were playing.... - Detweiler Thu, 31 Jan 2008 23:46:58 +0100 http://www.rednow.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=568&Itemid=49#pc_188 Thanks for your amazing post Craig! I'm really looking forward to seeing this... There is no doubt that in my mind U2 have created something far bigger than themselves...I like the Thought of "humble giants". In all the interviews I've ever read with Bono or other members of U2 they never seem to point at themselves, always upwards or at each other... I think the thing that strikes me the hardest about this post, as Craig so elegantly points out, is the fact that U2 has been able to stay grounded. In a time where Britney Spears, Michael Jackson, and a slew of others have let the media rip them apart, U2 has found a way to use their humility and prestige to turn the tables on fame and use it as a vehicle for their message. In contemplating why that is, I'm drawn to Eric Kuiper's post a few weeks about the Sigur Ros Documentary Heima. In it, Eric spoke about how seeing where someone is from allows you to more fully understand who they are. In my opinion U2 have never lost where they came from. They have a very strong sense of self, and a very strong history. They formed as a group of poor kids in the bars of Dublin, and in some ways, it seems, have never lost that. anybody else have thoughts on this? - Drew de Jonge Mon, 21 Jan 2008 08:52:30 +0100
