Ain’t Manlove Grand?

Bono Busses Bassist (again): I’m a bit jealous that Bono can wander up and plant one on his handsome bass player just any old day.

Stuck in My Head

Some days are dry, some days are leaky
Some days come clean, other days are sneaky
Some days take less, but most days take more
Some slip through your fingers and onto the floor
Some days you’re quick, but most days you’re speedy
Some days you use more force than is necessary
Some days just drop in on us
Some days are better than others

Some days it all adds up
And what you got is not enough
Some days are better than others

Some days are slippy, other days sloppy
Some days you can’t stand the sight of a puppy
Your skin is white but you think you’re a brother
Some days are better than others

Some days you wake up with her complaining
Some sunny days you wish it was raining
Some days are sulky, some days have a grin
And some days have bouncers and won’t let you in

Some days you hear a voice
Taking you to another place
Some days are better than others

Some days are honest, some days are not
Some days you’re thankful for what you’ve got
Some days you wake up in the army
And some days it’s the enemy

Some days are work, most days you’re lazy
Some days you feel like a bit of a baby
Lookin’ for Jesus and His mother
Some days are better than others

Some days you feel ahead
You’re making sense of what she said
Some days are better than others

Some days you hear a voice
Taking you to another place
Some days are better than others

New Ongoing Thread: U2 Theme Songs for IndyCar Drivers

Bash — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 16:55:11 +0000

A Little Fun: As I’m currently immersed in U2′s catalog (better late than never to become a fan, right?), I will occasionally see, hear or read something IndyCar-related and be reminded of a U2 song. I’m starting a running list to collect them before I forget them all…

Marco Andretti – “Daddy’s Gonna Pay For Your Crashed Car”
Mario Moraes – “Walk On”
Tony Kanaan – “The Unforgettable Fire”
Danica Patrick – “Party Girl”
Helio Castroneves – “Some Days Are Better Than Others”
Alex Tagliani – “Gone”
Dan Wheldon – “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For”
Ryan Briscoe – “Seconds”
Ed Carpenter – “One Step Closer”
Paul Tracy = “40″

More to come…

Colossal!

First U2 Gig!: The stage (“The Claw”) is amazing! Apparently, things rotate/move, and the conical screen above the stage actually expands and can change shape. Geeeeeking out over this thing! Check it out!

At night, with show lights and amazing screen…

During the show, they had an actual satellite hookup with the International Space Station to talk with the astronauts – only U2 could pull that off…

Here’s The Claw in its various states:

That rainbow thing is a video screen! The screen shows patterns or it shows the performance to help everyone see…the band looks like ants!

The screen MOVES! It can stretch down almost to the tops of the band’s heads!
Here’s what it’s like during a show:

Those two gray things at the top that have 6 rows each are actually speaker banks! The whole Stage can be a bunch of different colors, or all one shade.

Yumzorz!

Dashing: Mr. Clayton, again. It should be illegal to be this delicious, but I’m glad it’s not…
