“Here’s to the future. The only limits are the limits of our imagination. Dream up the kind of world you wanna live in. Dream out loud at high volume that’s what we do for a living. Lucky bastards.” #U2fam #U2community #u2conference

35 years ago tonight Bono gives the Dublin Pointe Depot crowd his infamous “gotta go away & dream it all up again” speech. What would become a career saving & career redefining decision. #U2fam #U2community #u2conference

Who wants to try & explain “the sand inside the pearl/you were the luckiest man in the world”? P.S. our Shadow album episode is coning soon #U2fam #U2community #u2conference youtu.be/YbPqlbpNTeU?...

Why didn’t the Shadow songs make HTDAAB? Larry & Adam said the Chris Thomas sessions had no magic. Lillywhite had the gravitas to steer the band away from the experimental & towards the conventional so Bono didn’t finish lyrics #U2fam

Now that we have the Shadow album, what should’ve been the 12 songs to make HTDAAB? Do Evidence of Life, Treason, Happiness, Luckiest, Country Mile make it? What gets the ax? It’s harder than you think. #U2fam #U2community #U2conference

Loving the Shadow album but why didn’t they just dispense with Re-Assembling & use the 6 best of these as the cornerstone of the next record? Maybe then we’d get a new record & tour in ‘25 instead of more likely ‘26 or ‘27 #U2fam #U2community #U2conference

Out now! The U2 Origin Story & new expanded Boy episode. We set out to do a U2 History in podcast form & this finally completes it. Hopefully we’ve left something behind for the #U2community that stands the test of time. Cheers! #U2fam #U2conference

Tune in tomorrow for our U2 Origin episode - did you know #U2 scored its 1st TV appearance on RTE’s Youngline on 3/2/78 by fooling the booker into thinking they wrote The Ramones’ “Glad to See You Go”? #U2fam #U2community #U2conference via @YouTube

Actually, no one responded to Larry’s post on the Mt Temple bulletin board. Find out who finally showed up in Larry’s kitchen 9/25/76 & how they got there in our U2 origin story episode Monday #U2fam #U2community #U2conference

Definitely liking this. A little hint of Pop era that’s been absent the past couple decades. #U2fam #U2community #U2conference

October released 43 yrs ago. Made amidst internal strife & outside pressures that nearly ended the band, it contains some of U2’s deepest & most unguarded music ever. #U2fam #U2community #U2conference via @YouTube

R&H 36 yrs ago today. Sells 10 mil, hits galore, but the film originally to be a small art film blows up & exposes U2 to derision & charges of megalomania. Where’s Paul McGuinnes? Making the biggest deals possible-hmm #U2fam #U2community #U2conference

24 yrs ago today U2 releases “Beautiful Day.” When Edge 1st plays the cloud parting riff Bono says, “It sounds like the Edge in U2." To which Edge says, "But I am the Edge in U2. I can sound like this if I want." #U2fam #U2community #U2conference

Fun fact about Larry’s bulletin board post @ Mount Temple: No one replied. Undeterred, Larry approached Adam; Edge’s guitar teacher told him to go & Lipton Villager Reggie Manuel convinced Bono to go & they gather 9/25/76 #U2fam #U2community #U2conference

Google U2 Mercy - it’s up on SoundCloud beyond the claws of Universal Music-who we can attest is relentless & battled us on every episode we used a U2 song-so if you didn’t download it off YouTube the last 20 years do it now #U2fam #U2community #U2conference
