Improbable, Impossible Improv

And now there’s yet another reason to want to live in New York City. It’s people like this who make the world a better place. You don’t have to be feeding the starving 24 hours a day to be any good. If I had bought it, though, I would probably have been a [...]

Another Weekend

And another Off the Record column by Matt McGee that makes me just fall in awe at his feet in thanks. The backlash of ingratitude and attitude people are directing at the world’s Last and Greatest rock band has both wounded, enraged, and confused me. Thank you to Matt (AGAIN) for a much-needed viewpoint [...]

Dear Motley Crue

They’re mad because NBC wants to ban them after one of them used the word “fuck” during a live broadcast. “Why us?” they ask. “Bono did this, too… more than once. Why isn’t HE banned rather than being seeked out to appear on TV?”
I have news, idiots. Bono’s cute and you’re not. I don’t [...]

This is a Misunderstanding, Right?

I find this article upsetting. I hope someone just got it wrong as none of the Bono quotes in it indicate that U2 will actually and physically rerecord POP. I have several violent objections to such a thing. Firstly, there’s nothing wrong with POP. Secondly, rerecording it would be tantmount to admitting that all [...]

The Ninth Street Shooting

I think this one caught the public’s attention for two reasons: it occurred in a decent part of town just blocks from the posh and it appears to have been random and pointless. The victim was a radiography worker at Pennsylvania Hospital which is the best-situated of all the Center City hospitals. She had no [...]

The Apple Family

This is for those who have been wanting to see my new computer. It’s the big one. Trusty laptop and iPod are still kicking despite their age. That’s the original iPod, by the way. 5GB. It was mine a month after Apple released the product.

The Photography Policy

It’s not like anyone will read it here, so I’ll just give it a dry run. With the exception of 2 pictures in the general galleries, all photographs in the U2Literary PictureBook are originals. Since neither I nor anyone else involved in taking them is either paid or seeks to be paid for the photographs, [...]

Defamation

Check this out. That picture’s MINE. I took it at the May 14th show in Philadelphia. This dude sticks it on his rather ugly blog and the way it’s on there, it looks like HE took it and that HE took it in Chicago. I’m pissed. I’m locking the picture directory and will rethink [...]

Ten Things I Hate About You

To the city in which I live:
1. The exhorbitant city tax: It makes state tax look like birdseed.
2. The Motorists: They’re allowed to drive like maniacs. And then people wonder why so many kids get hit by cars.
3. The Mayor: Why is he still in office? He should have had his ass tossed out once [...]

Free!

This week keeps getting better even in small ways. What was in my mailbox today? Free gloss and liner from Stila. I guess I just won another one of their Lucky Breaks contests. Last time I won an eyeshadow which I wore and sweated off Saturday. As a friend said about this week, “I should [...]

The After Effects

I don’t know what it is. I didn’t feel this way after Elevation though I was excited and amazed etc of course. But seeing them Saturday night when all signs had said I wouldn’t be there… it’s like I’m in love with the world right now. I love everyone right now especially two guys: one [...]

Post Scriptum

Alright, that completely rocked. Details and fine shots of the guys’ backs soon to come in the not-yet-but-really-soon-to-be-updated U2TourDiary section of the main site. “Running to Stand Still” and its tearing hallelujahs, Larry’s drum solo, the guy playing air guitar next to me, the guy yelling “Legend!!!” at the Edge as he left for the [...]
