About: A little about me, I was bitten with the U2 obsession in 1991 with the release of Achtung Baby. Although I’ve known about U2 since the mid 80’s it wasn’t until the AB album that I was hooked. AB was the very first (and only) album that I had ever owned that I played straight through without hating a single song. I truly love every song on that album. Even today that album seems so fresh. My online activities, I'm curator of several U2 related sites: U2exit.com, U2torrents.com, U2fansites.com, and U2radio.com. I've maintained a U2 fan site in some form since the late 1990's.See Authors Posts (2587) on Feb 26, 2008 in News & Rumors | Comments Off

Glen Hansard, winner of the Oscar for Best Original Song, has revealed that U2’s Bono sent him a text message congratulating him.

Hansard won the Oscar in Los Angeles on Sunday along with his partner Markéta Irglová for their song ‘Falling Slowly’, which appears in the movie, Once.

“What was really amazing for me was getting texts from family and friends, it was amazing beforehand, and then I got a text from Bono and I was like ‘Ah, my God, that’s just amazing,’” Hansard told Irish radio station, RTE.
