On Driving with Bono
I just got back from a little Thanksgiving jaunt down to Atlanta to spend the holiday with my wife's family. Many aunts and uncles. Great turkey. Southern hospitality. Marvelous.
Except for the 14+ hours plus it took to drive there. And then another 14+ back. But it was pretty easy going coming back north. My wife and I stopped at a Wal-Mart (confession time) and picked up U2's new disc, How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb ($9 at Wal-Mart that day) . I must say I am impressed. Somewhere between all those charity fundraisers, UN visits to Africa, and Super Bowl halftime shows, Bono and The Edge managed to cook up something special for the fans. I love it, but before you run out and buy it you must know that I am still spinning The Joshua Tree at least every month or two.

Despite Grant's opinion, Matt, my respect for you is even greater now than before....if that's even possible....i'm not worthy! i'm not worthy! just kidding, but i am with you on the U2 bandwagon, though I have only had the most minimal exposure to the new album (can I still call it an album?). This is Brent Newsom, by the way, in case you're wondering.
