U2 on Saturday Night Live
Ok, I know that this is starting to sound like a U2 fanlog, but they ARE my favorite band and they DO have a new album out this Tuesday. But did anyone see them on Saturday Night Live last night? That was an amazing performance. They still have so much zest for the music, and it's incomprehensible to me that they are able to accomplish something that no other "supergroup" has ever been able to do -- create new music that you want to listen to and not just have to rely on tunes written decades ago. When they tour in March, I know they will play a whole lot of material off the new album, and I'm looking forward to it.
The second song, Sometime you can't make it on your own, is just so sublimely beautiful that it continues to affect me even though I've only heard it about 3 times. Gorgeous.
NBC! News Flash! If you need to pre-empt the beginning of SHOWTIME AT THE APOLLO so that you can show a thoroughly engrossed live audience U2's encore songs, DO IT! Nobody will complain. That was so frustrating. Bono says, "1 more song!" and you hear the crowd roar and the first couple guitar notes and then. . . NBC cuts to a commercial for "The Biggest Loser" and their regularly scheduled programming. AH! NBC, we know you taped it, can you somehow make it available? Reports are that U2 actually played 3 more songs for the studio audience. Very cool of them.
Geek Moment: I recorded the songs onto my computer using a TV tuner and then burnt them to a DVD. It looks very nice. If you're desperate to see the performance, let me know, I may let you borrow it.

There is the Jase I know and love. U2 as usual was amazing. However, as two of my good friends know very well(sorry guys)...i was slightly dissapointed with him climbing into a girls lap and "thrusting". yeah that is a gross word, but it made me feel sad and this is ME that we are talking about. This is "bono can do no wrong girl" this is "not really offended by very much girl". but i still love him and the new album is amazing. I too stand in awe that after 25 years they can still play music that sings so sweetly to my soul and draws me into a place of feeling like they are welcoming me home.
eew?? sounds gross?
I missed the whole endeavor.. those extra songs would be a great thing for U2 to put on their webpage..
that being said.. showtime at the apollo is a great classic show that really speaks to me

I don't care if it was Bono or some girl, why was Jason thrusting in anyone's lap??? Sick. The Look Machine is X-rated, man.
"Thrust" would not be a good name for a band.
xerxes, my friend, there should be NO thrusting going on yet.
Now there is the Childish I know and love!
