U2Exit.com will be under going some changes in the coming days and weeks. The changes to the site involve almost all aspects of the layout, and content. We are adding a new blog to the site to help us grow to be a more complete U2 fan site. We are almost starting over and will have to start anew from this point on.

During this time you may experience some dead links, and things not displaying correctly. When all is complete U2Exit.com will again focus on offering the latest audio, video, and news, plus alot more.

Thanks for reading,

That’s the question Bono addresses on a video shot recently by Phil Joanou in Arusha, Tanzania.

‘Make Poverty History! What was that ? A T-shirt?’ A year after the G8 leaders met in Scotland, pledging huge steps to end extreme poverty, Bono asks what difference campaigners are making for the everyday life of people in the poorest countries.

From millions of children now in school, millions being protected from the killer-disease malaria to a dramatic increase in the availability of anti-retroviral drugs for those living with HIV/AIDS… campaigners, he says, are creating real change for the good.

‘We have the power to change the world if we work together,’ says Bono, in this passionate clip.

U2.com | Highlights

Ahead of his new Dublin show, Gavin Friday talks to U2.Com about making movies, going into the studio with Bono and producing ‘Tomorrow Belongs to Me’.

Gavin Friday has a new show, ‘Tomorrow Belongs to Me’, opening in Dublin, at the end of the month – a ‘musical/visual tribute to 20th Century German Music, Art, Film and Literature’. And Gavin, one of U2’s oldest friends and collaborators, has just been in the studio with Bono recording ‘sea chanteys’ with producer Hal Willner for the double album ‘Rogue’s Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs & Chanteys’, released next month. Oh, and he’s made his Hollywood debut this year, in Neil Jordan’s Golden Globe nominated ‘Breakfast on Pluto’. And found time to collaborate with Quincy Jones on the soundtrack to the 50 Cent biopic ‘Get Rich or Die Trying’. Did we mention he’s just become a neighbour of Bono? Seemed like a good moment to track Gavin down for a goss. Here’s what he had to say.

It seems almost as many politicians as News Corporations staffers will be present when the great and the good of Rupert Murdoch’s empire meet in California this weekend.

News Corp’s management conference will start on Sunday with a vastly reduced contingent of News International executives compared with previous years.

Mr Murdoch, the executive chairman, will host the event for 250 key executives at California’s Pebble Beach, a peninsular south of San Francisco know for its golf courses and cypress trees.

Les Hinton, the News International executive chairman, will lead a management contingent that will include his lieutenant, Clive Milner, the group managing director of News International, and the bosses of the two national newspaper groups, Paul Hayes, the managing director of Times Newspapers, and Mike Anderson, the managing director of News Group Newspapers, who sits in the adjacent office to that of Mr Hayes in Wapping.
