Corporate Lawyer, Loving the U2 rock n roll revival of conscience, endurance athlete, 64 x 13.1, free spirited adventurer 24/7. Cynically idealistic pragmatist.
12 years of endurance racing and here’s the finish last weekend of my 200th race and 63rd half marathon. It’s been a journey and I’ve loved every second of it. #Fitness#running#racing#RevelRockies#Colorado
@MarkHalperin@nytimes I have no issue with @MarkHalperin pointing out how media coverage tends to lean. I do have an issue using the TDS label because it flies in the face of peace, love and understanding. The NYT knows its audience and its business, just like any other media outlet.
A note to U2’s audience from Bono:
"We are in the studio, still working towards a noisy, messy, 'unreasonably colour xerox’ album to play LIVE… which is where U2 lives. We still look to vivid rock n roll as an act of resistance against all this awfulness on our small screens. These are for sure ‘wilderness years’ for so many of us looking at the mayhem out there in the world. It’s a time that has our band digging deeper into our lives to find a wellspring of songs to try to meet the moment…
With Easter Lily we ended up asking very personal questions like: Are our own relationships up to these challenging times? How hard do you fight for friendship? Can our faith survive the mangling of meaning that those algorithms love to reward? Is all religion rubbish and still ripping us apart…? Or are there answers to find in its crevices? Are there ceremonies, rituals, dances that we might be missing in our lives? From the rite of Spring to Easter and its promise of rebirth and renewal… Patti Smith’s album Easter gave me so much hope when it was released in 1978. I wasn’t yet 18. The title is a nod to her.
We will attempt hoopla and fanfare at a later date to remind the rest of the world we exist but in the meantime… this is between you and us."

A much more reflective set of songs emerging from a more personal, private place that some may retreat to in such times – exploring themes of friendship, loss, hope, and ultimately, renewal.

@U2 Like every U2 release, I need time 2 absorb what’s been put n2 the universe. The brilliant nuanced creativity isnt lost on me n the new music continues to elevate the bar I expect from U2. I’m so proud to be a fan. Thanks U2. I love the 4 of you.
