Latest U2 News & Information

Why in God’s name are you taking her to Cleveland for her birthday?!? That was a recurring question when I told people of my plans to celebrate my wife’s milestone birthday (a husband’s code of conduct forbids me from printing her age) this past weekend. I was just following orders; the missus always wanted to go to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Did I marry the right woman or what?
