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

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

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

Thanks to loyal listener @davidabear36 who tells us we overlooked a possible inspiration for the SOE cover in today’s episode - see the cool U2-Virgin Prunes poster from ‘79. Another thematic connection to their innocence. Good catch!

Songs of Experience was done in summer 2016 but after Brexit & Trump’s nomination, #U2 instead does the JT Tour while Bono rewrites the SOE lyrics to better reflect the nexus of the times. Tune in Friday for our P1 on SOE #U2fam #U2community #U2conference

Bono’s parents danced at The Crystal Ballroom then it became McGonagles where #U2 played early gigs. “Everyone is here tonight everyone but you” Bono: “It’s me wanting to see my mother dance again & for her to see what happened to her son” #U2fam #U2community

Songs of Innocence - 5 1/2 yrs in the making with as many producers as Beyonce. Bono said, “Rumor is we haven't made an album in 5 years. We have. We've made several, but we wanted it to be as good as the best we've ever done." #U2fam #U2community #U2 #BONO

Came to the Sphere shows to assess one thing: does it still feel like #U2? The answer is yes it does. But with talk of a new record & hopefully a real tour in ‘25 I pray they stop obsessing with staying relevant & just chase their muse #peaceonearth #u2community #U2SPHERE #U2fam
