There is a lot of stuff! So on to it ...
Bono is going to be writing some more for the NY Times. Safe and happy to say, there's a relationship here ... and here was the Sunday piece, covering them at the Brit Awards last week - the last huge Rock band that matters, "Last Gang in Town."The band are going to be on David Letterman every night this week. Bono and Edge did something similar last time around (How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb) and it was a riot, appearing in sketches, as well as doing some great jams. Should be great; set your DVR's!
This Friday, crank it up again as the Last Gang does Good Morning America. Let's hope they do 2 maybe 3 numbers for this one -- could be a killer set. Clear out some space on the DVR!
It's been a hugely busy 2 weeks leading up to the US debut. When you've been around as long as U2, radio time doesn't come easy. When it's your 12th studio albumn and you've literally set the standard in stadium rock and live shows of all sizes ... well, it's kind of tough to be "the next hot thing" a la pop media ...
Which is just a long way of saying, the boys knew they'd need a television media blitz to show up on the radar, and get the new stuff out there. They've done it for sure - and they've also been busy this past week "across the pond."
Check out this video of Get on Your Boots from a 7th floor balcony in London -- they are really starting to get comfortable playing this one ... and looking tuned ... can you say "summer tour" boys and girls???And there was this performance of a song deeper into the album, Breathe ... an interesting choice for sure ... so neat to see their sets evolve ... this if from French television, Le Grand Journal; 2-24-09 - enjoy!
