October released 43 yrs ago. Made amidst internal strife & outside pressures that nearly ended the band, it contains some of U2’s deepest & most unguarded music ever. #U2fam #U2community #U2conference youtu.be/fLZ60Oxfku8?fe… via YouTube

While we prepare a new U2 Origin Story Episode here’s a Songs that Inspired U2 Playlist #U2fam #U2community #U2conference open.spotify.com/playlist/1gxkR…

Definitely liking this. A little hint of Pop era that’s been absent the past couple decades. #U2fam #U2community #U2conference youtu.be/SA9Sle1Xn1E

Excited to announce we’ve got 2 new episodes next week: A comprehensive U2 origin story & a new expanded Boy episode. #U2fam #U2community #U2conference

Actually, no one responded to Larry’s post on the Mt Temple bulletin board. Find out who finally showed up in Larry’s kitchen 9/25/76 & how they got there in our U2 origin story episode Monday #U2fam #U2community #U2conference

Tune in tomorrow for our U2 Origin episode - did you know #U2 scored its 1st TV appearance on RTE’s Youngline on 3/2/78 by fooling the booker into thinking they wrote The Ramones’ “Glad to See You Go”? #U2fam #U2community #U2conference youtu.be/UMFJR-sZlS4?fe… via YouTube

Loving the Shadow album but why didn’t they just dispense with Re-Assembling & use the 6 best of these as the cornerstone of the next record? Maybe then we’d get a new record & tour in ‘25 instead of more likely ‘26 or ‘27 #U2fam #U2community #U2conference

Now that we have the Shadow album, what should’ve been the 12 songs to make HTDAAB? Do Evidence of Life, Treason, Happiness, Luckiest, Country Mile make it? What gets the ax? It’s harder than you think. #U2fam #U2community #U2conference youtu.be/hjJSFRCdbkk?fe… via YouTube

Why didn’t the Shadow songs make HTDAAB? Larry & Adam said the Chris Thomas sessions had no magic. Lillywhite had the gravitas to steer the band away from the experimental towards the conventional & Bono didn’t finish lyrics #U2fam #U2community #u2conference

Guess which episode was our most listened to in 2024? #U2fam #U2community #u2conference

FYI our most listened to episode was AB pt 2

Who’s brave enough to try & explain “the sand inside the Pearl/You were the Luckiest Man In The World”? P.S. our Shadow album episode is coming soon #U2fam #U2community #u2conference youtu.be/YbPqlbpNTeU?fe… via YouTube

Haven’t seen this posted in awhile - I believe this was from Christmas 1983. Bono Driving To Midnight Mass in Dublin Christmas Eve.avi youtu.be/HwiOBFaC6oo?fe… via YouTube

35 years ago tonight, Bono tells the Pointe Debut Dublin crowd they’ve gotta go away and dream it all up again. It would prove to be a career saving & career redefining decision. #U2fam #U2community #u2conference youtube.com/watch?v=JkC4nc…

“Here’s to the future. The only limits are the limits of our imagination. Dream up the kind of world you wanna live in. Dream out loud at high volume that’s what we do for a living. Lucky bastards. #U2fam #U2community #u2conference youtu.be/9wEaDN2gTSQ?fe…

A very happy birthday to my incomparable co-host Melody Muraca.
